Causes of day and night coughing include bronchitis, pneumonia, tuberculosis, lung cancer and so on, and their causes of different drugs have different treatments, as follows:
1. Bronchitis, pneumonia: mainly due to the inflammation caused by viruses, bacteria, mycoplasma and other pathogens stimulating the trachea, bronchial tubes, interstitium of the lungs, the patient may show cough, cough sputum, fever and so on.

For small cell lung cancer, chemotherapy often chooses etoposide, irinotecan combined with cisplatin or carboplatin; lung adenocarcinoma can choose pemetrexed combined with cisplatin, and squamous lung cancer can choose gemcitabine combined with cisplatin. Lung cancer molecular targeted drugs are mainly for adenocarcinoma, commonly used gefitinib.
