How to stop coughing, I can’t sleep because my cough is so bad 😷

Hello, this is Balance Lab, which curates the optimal balance for beauty ✨.

Coughing is one of the symptoms that patients often report regardless of the season.

Let’s take a look at coughing, which can occur for various reasons,

from mild respiratory illnesses to lung cancer.

What if your cough is so bad that you can’t sleep? 😷

If the cough continues until just before you fall asleep, it can cause wounds on the bronchial mucosa,

and the symptoms may worsen, making it difficult to get a good night’s sleep and causing trouble in daily life due to restless nights. For severe coughing, urinary incontinence and rib fractures may also occur.

Why do we cough? 😷

Our body has the tendency to expel foreign substances when they enter.

It is a physiological response to remove foreign substances or secretions from the respiratory tract. However, if coughing keeps happening all the time,

there is concern that it may lower quality of life rather than serve a beneficial function for our body.

To prevent coughing from becoming chronic, it is best to visit a hospital in the early stage of symptoms.

When will the cough get better? 😷

Cough caused by a cold usually shows improvement after about 2 weeks. If the cough lasts more than 3 weeks, it is classified as a chronic cough, and at that point you should check whether there is another illness.

Bronchitis or pneumonia are infections caused by bacteria, so they may come with a fever and yellow phlegm.

What foods are good for coughing? 😷

Foods good for a sore throat from a cold

1️⃣ Pear

2️⃣ Mu-guk (radish soup)

3️⃣ Quince tea (effective for chronic cough)

4️⃣ Deodeok seasoned salad or grilled deodeok (deodeok contains a lot of saponins and inulin, which help strengthen digestive and lung function)

5️⃣ Bean sprout soup (bean sprouts lower body heat and help restore liver function, making them effective for colds)

Why does the cough get worse at night? 😷

When lying down at night, secretions in the respiratory tract tend to collect more,

and the resulting irritation triggers the cough reflex at night or before dawn.

This does not apply as much in the case of asthma.
