It is known to be diseased Cough It is considered an infectious disease between people, so the infected person must isolate himself as much as possible so as not to spread the cough among others, according to what was published by the Novosti website.
In the same context, a Russian study revealed that coughing does not always indicate infectious diseases, but rather predicts the risks of other serious diseases.
For his part, Dr. Alexander Karabinenko, a specialist in endocrinology, confirmed that coughing does not always indicate infection with infectious diseases, except that coughing may be due to smoking if the person smokes for more than five years, or taking certain medications, such as ACE inhibitors, and this case, It starts at night and lasts for several minutes, which leads to respiratory disorders.
Dr. Alexander said, if a person smokes for more than 30-40 years, he will develop chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, stressing that coughing may indicate heart failure.
He stressed that the cause of coughing in most cases is the infection of the upper or lower respiratory tract. Coughing is a metaphor for the body’s reaction after the virus enters it.
He continued, “The patient may complain of sore throat and hoarseness. The cough may also be accompanied by shortness of breath and difficulty exhaling, which indicates swelling of the trachea and bronchi.”
He added, if a pulmonary cough causes difficulty in exhaling, the patients here suffer from difficulty in inhaling. Cough in patients with chronic heart failure may be a harbinger of more severe complications such as pulmonary edema and cardiac asthma.”
