What to do if you develop a cough during home isolation

Coughing during home isolation should be handled differently depending on whether the cough is physiologic or pathologic. 1. Physiologic cough: For example, cold air stimulates the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract causing irritating cough, and there are a few gentle coughs in the morning to clear the mucous in the respiratory tract at night. Physiologic coughs do not require special treatment. 2. Pathological cough: including colds, acute tracheobronchitis, postnasal drip syndrome, gastroesophageal reflux cough, cough variant asthma, allergic cough, etc., can be treated with anti-infective, antihistamine and other targeted medications for the different primary causes. Regardless of the cause of coughing during home isolation, it is necessary to closely observe yourself for any other symptoms and inform the relevant epidemic prevention personnel in a timely manner. If the cough occurs during home isolation, there may be other reasons, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time to clarify the cause of the disease and then carry out targeted treatment to avoid delaying the disease.
