What to do if you have asthma and cough

  The more common forms of asthmatic cough are caused by infectious diseases of the respiratory tract and are more often treated with antibiotics. Of course, there are also chronic lung diseases that can cause shortness of breath and cough, such as chronic pneumonia, emphysema, pulmonary fibrosis, and lung cancer, all of which require active treatment of the original disease to relieve and treat the cough.  If it is bronchitis and it is acute and not very long, you can take some cough and phlegm relieving drugs, such as roxithromycin, or you can use some nebulizing drugs. If it is a functional disorder of the organs, a chest X-ray is needed for further examination to determine the condition, and if it is lung cancer, surgery may be required; if it is wheezing and coughing caused by allergic rhinitis, anti-allergy medications can be taken, and at the same time, allergens should be kept away from and masks should be worn when traveling; if it is shortness of breath and cough caused by pulmonary heart disease, intermittent oxygen supply is needed, and cough and phlegm-relieving medications are used.  Regardless of the cause of asthma and cough, make sure that the patient has smooth ventilation, avoid contact with allergens and irritating smells, wear a mask or other protective gear when going out, get plenty of rest, and drink water regularly.
