Autumn is a harvest season, we look forward to the fall, but after entering the late fall, the sky is dry, the temperature gradually become cold, many people have symptoms of coughing, and the cough is very heavy. What should we do if we have a cough? Many of us are thinking of taking some herbal medicine to relieve the symptoms. This is understandable, after all, we are Chinese, for the Chinese medicine more trust, but how to use the medicine, or need to be based on the individual’s physical condition. The same weather conditions, different physical conditions, is the same symptoms of coughing, the medication is not the same. This is not difficult to understand, Chinese medicine is the most important thing is dialectical treatment. In the fall is most likely to cause cough factors are: 1, late autumn dry environment for the respiratory tract is very unfavorable, this is because the respiratory tract mucous membrane on the cilia movement slows down, dust, bacteria, etc. easily attached to the mucous membrane, stimulate the larynx, the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract caused by the irritation and damage, caused by coughing. In Chinese medicine, this is called “Autumn dryness cough syndrome”. According to the different symptoms of different types will be divided into “cool dry” and “warm dry”, diagnosis and treatment are also different. The late fall, mostly seen in the cool dry cough. 2, late autumn is generally a big temperature difference between morning and evening, easy to catch a cold caused by cough, especially with chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pulmonary fibrosis, bronchial dilatation, asthma and other chronic respiratory diseases patients, the most likely due to cold cold and flu, caused by the recurrence of old illnesses, resulting in acute exacerbation. 3, late fall is generally windy, temperature changes, and more lush flowers and plants, allergens increase, airborne inhalant allergens, density, quantity. At this time allergic rhinitis, asthma, cough variant asthma, allergic cough and other diseases are most likely to attack. From this we can see that in the late fall season, the most important thing to do is to do the appropriate preventive work according to the physical condition, in order to reduce the occurrence of disease-induced cough. And once the cough occurs, how to use the medicine, but also need to check the specific causes of cough, only after the targeted medication. It is important to know that no Chinese medicine can relieve all causes of cough.
