Common causes of cough and excessive sweating include respiratory tract infection, tuberculosis, chronic pulmonary heart disease, etc.
1. Respiratory tract infections: for example, upper respiratory tract infections such as colds, pharyngolaryngitis, as well as lower respiratory tract infections such as tracheitis, bronchitis, etc., can cause coughing and sweating. Because the inflammation stimulates the respiratory tract, so that the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract is congested and edematous, and secretes a lot of secretions, which in turn affects the normal ventilation and produces a cough. The infection is often accompanied by fever, which in turn leads to excessive sweating.
2. Tuberculosis: because the toxin of tuberculosis mycobacterium will cause damage to the immune function of the body, which will affect the regulation of the body temperature center, so the patient will have a low fever phenomenon. Low fever will prompt the secretion of sweat to achieve the purpose of cooling, so there will be night sweats. At the same time, tuberculosis is a chronic consumptive disease, patients often accompanied by hemoptysis, cough, dizziness, loss of appetite and other manifestations.
3. Chronic pulmonary heart disease: often repeated cough. When coughing, phlegm is not discharged from the body in time, which causes paroxysmal coughing to intensify, which in turn leads to excessive sweating when coughing. Some of the elderly who are too weak are also prone to sweating when coughing.
Cough sweating can also be caused by other diseases, should be clearly checked as soon as possible to identify the cause of the disease and treat the symptoms.
