A Dry Cough That Doesn’t Stop?




Good morning, I am experiencing pain, which is a dry cough that continues, maybe every 10-20 seconds the frequency, and my tongue is white and there are a few red spots on my waist, stomach and face, especially I feel bloated / stomach acid rises. As far as I know, maybe I could have thypus / GERD which causes dry cough not to stop .. According to the doctor, maybe I have an infection? because I have cooked chicken and maybe undercooked when cooked .. also ate a few late meals, but it is said that I rarely get sick because my food is not careless … thank you, what concerns me is a very annoying cough
Hi Andreas,



  

Thank you for asking HealthReplies.com.











Typhus (typhoid fever) can indeed cause a person to have a cough. This cough is generally only part of a prodromal symptom which will be followed by other more characteristic symptoms, namely fever, weakness, nausea, vomiting, muscle and joint pain, headache, dizziness, fatigue, bowel movements, reddish skin rash, and so forth. However, usually the main complaints that cause typhus sufferers to come to health facilities are fever and nausea, vomiting, not coughing.



  

GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) can also cause complaints of a cough that doesn't go away. This cough occurs due to throat irritation due to reflux of stomach acid (it goes back up. Not only coughing, GERD sufferers will also experience other uncomfortable sensations around the throat and chest, for example propping up, tightness, bloating, stinging, heat, pain, burning, etc. and so forth.



  

Apart from the two conditions above, your complaints may also arise due to other causes that are not necessarily related to one another, including:







Causes of cough: allergies, respiratory infections, aspiration (choking), side effects of drugs  

Causes of white tongue: yeast infection in the mouth, leukoplakia, lichen planus  

Causes of red spots on the waist, stomach and face: allergies, contact dermatitis, insect bites, skin infections, measles, dengue fever, scarlet fever  

Causes of flatulence: gastritis, stomach ulcers, cholangitis, pancreatitis, hepatitis, gastrointestinal infections, side effects of drugs, and so on



If you have already checked your complaint to a doctor and given treatment, but there is no significant improvement with your complaint, you should check your complaint again with a doctor. To determine the right diagnosis, in addition to a physical examination, the doctor may also perform blood tests, X-rays, or endoscopy. Alternatively, your doctor will recommend that you undergo a sputum test to rule out tuberculosis, which often causes the cough to not go away.



  

In the meantime, all you need to do is:







Reduce consumption of oily foods and those that contain lots of artificial sweeteners  

Avoid contact with substances that are prone to trigger allergies, for example cold, dust mites, animal hair  

Use a nose and mouth mask to prevent harmful substances from being inhaled into your respiratory tract  

Maintain endurance by eating foods rich in vitamin C, exercising diligently, and getting enough rest  

Do not smoke  

Be diligent in brushing your teeth and taking a shower regularly



Hope it helps ..

you can use panado, benylin cough syrup, strepsils.<br/><br/>best wishes this appears to be mucus plugs which may be due to excessively dry conditions like too much air conditioning. a sinus infection is less likely a cause unless you recently had a prolonged head cold. in this case the mucus is usually discolored yellow or greenish and there may be associated nasal congestion and headache could be a yeast infection. see your doctor for a treatment recommendation. i do not have crohn's but have had gerd for 2 years now. maybe some of what helps me will carry over. i know gerd can turn into crohn's or ibs...i had pretty good luck helping digestion with betaine hcl with pepsin supplements along with licorice and gentian root.i tried skullcap to relax digestion for a while but that stuff is weird.most recently i have been taking "source naturals essential enzymes" 2 a meal with great success and no longer take the acid increasers.i took a blood test for food intolerance and eliminated the two items which were eggs and whey protein. this made absolutely no difference. i have since dropped dairy and almost all carbs accept rice and oatmeal and then eat meat like crazy. no garlic, alcohol, onions, nsaids, benedryl, caffeine etc.i still need pepto every night to sleep.i think it all started when i was given extremely strong antibiotics from a dr when i had strep and mono. had diarrhea for a month after that and now this...try the enzymes and eating almost straight meat - like chicken and fish along with rice for a while.good luck. throat pain can be from a strep infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold or influenza (antibiotics usually not used), or from some other cause such as allergies or irritants. usually, a person sees the doctor if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly (to check for strep). severe vomiting or severe diarrhea means a trip to the doctor, regardless of other symptoms. see more... or erratic sleep can cause these symptoms, try as much as you can to regulate sleep and get enough rest, avoid caffeinated beverages well before before sleep time, also regular healthy diet would help, if no improvement, see your doctor for assessment for possible thyroid gland dysfunction or any other problem, , good luck see more... you'll need to be evaluated by your physician and possibly have blood tests. don't try to self diagnose. taking medication for mild constipation will not solve your weakness. see more... you could see a dermatologist, dentist, or oral surgeon. could be a canker sore (apthous ulcer) or herpes. topical lidocaine, or a mixtire of benadryl, (diphenhydramine) maalox, and lidocaine helps. stay away from citrus, or spicy foods. see more... sounds like sleep apnea. its a condition where u stop breathing during certian sleep patterns. dont stress out too much it can be treated by sleeping with an air mask or other ways but do go see a doc Hello Satish ,
 Along with medication you need to avoid other trigger factors like - 
Caffeine 
Sugar and processed food 
Any food allergies or sensitivities that goes unnoticed. 
Be careful of your digestion. 
Drink plenty of water.
