In the past two days, it is estimated that many "yangguo" people are changing towards "yangkang". It was accompanied by symptoms of intolerance such as coughing to the point of "almost coughing out the lungs", nose feeling like it was stuck with cement, difficulty breathing, throat feeling like swallowing razor blades, non-stop runny nose, etc. Someone sent himself to the hospital because of a cough.
He held back his cough for fear of affecting the people around him, and almost had an accident.
Ronaldinho (surname changed) is 20 years old this year. After being infected with the new coronavirus, he developed severe coughing symptoms during the recovery process.
Due to the long coughing time, high coughing frequency and loud coughing sound, Ronaldinho was worried about affecting the colleagues working around him, so he tried hard to hold it in so that he would not cough out. At the same time, he was also worried about the side effects of the medicine and did not take cough medicine, which eventually led to transient syncope.
Feng Yingkai, chief physician of the Respiratory Department of Chengdu BOE Hospital who treated Ronaldinho, discovered that Ronaldinho had suppressed himself for a long time and prevented himself from coughing, which increased his intrathoracic pressure and intracranial pressure, so he fainted.
Ronaldinho's experience is not unique. If you suppress yourself from coughing for a long time, it may lead to pneumothorax, which may be life-threatening in severe cases. According to Dr. Feng, in addition to syncope caused by trying to hold your breath and not coughing, there are many clinical cases of syncope caused by severe coughing, which is called cough syncope syndrome.
"When a severe cough affects work and rest, a severe cough causes hemoptysis, or a cough causes nausea and vomiting, you must consult a doctor in time and take medication." Dr. Feng explained. Clinically, when dry cough occurs with little or no phlegm, you can take dextromethorphan hydrobromide oral liquid, Suhuang cough capsule , Yumei tablets, etc. However, it is worth noting that everyone’s constitution and symptoms are different, so you must consult a doctor before taking medication and never take medication blindly.
Many netizens asked: Why do I still cough after turning negative?
Li Tong, chief physician of the Department of Infectious Diseases at Beijing You'an Hospital, once said that the Omicron mutant strain is mainly in the upper respiratory tract, and immune cells will naturally metabolize and die after completing their tasks. These have become "garbage" in our bodies. cough is a process of cleaning the "battlefield" and repairing the airway, and almost all are completely cured within fourteen days.
