Inhaler AND CN-231: instructions and description

Each parent is frightened when he discovers a dry barking cough in his baby. Coughing frightened us from the very childhood, we were taught that this is the main symptom of many terrible diseases. Therefore, many adults begin to stuff the child with a huge number of all kinds of medicines, put him mustard plasters and even give antibiotics.

What is a cough

Cough is one of the most common symptoms of an acute respiratory viral infection( ARVI).Most often it occurs together with such symptoms as a runny nose, sore throat, fever, weakness, sleep disturbances.

Cough is necessary for anyone, even a healthy person - it serves to clear the airways of accumulated mucus. During illness due to the need to neutralize viruses and bacteria, the amount of mucus( sputum) increases, and the runny nose begins. The secret flows down the back wall of the nasopharynx, irritates it and makes the person cough. So does the mucus that gets into the bronchi.

When you cough, the body tries to get rid of the accumulated sputum, which means that it is useful. Nevertheless, it can be caused not only by normal ARVI, but also by more serious bacterial infections, allergies, heart problems and even psychogenic causes. Therefore, any kind of cough should be treated by a doctor.

Cough is often described by such adjectives: barking, dry, paroxysmal, bothersome, wet. These signs can be characteristic simultaneously for one disease. For example, in ARVI, often initially dry barking cough changes gradually into a paroxysmal wet cough.

Types of cough

Doctors share two types of cough:

• dry( a painful severe cough that does not bring relief);
• moist( effective cough, in which the sputum departs, after the attack comes relief).

It is from the correct definition of its type that depends on what treatment the doctor will prescribe. If you start taking expectorants with a damp cough, chances are that it will take a long time to get treatment.

How to treat

There are three main types of medications for treating cough:

• Means for liquefaction of sputum and its excretion are mucolytics( "Khaliksol", "Ambrobene", "Lazolvan").They are used for a moist, protracted cough.
