There can be many different reasons for a cough. It is not always a cold.
It could be an allergy, a side effect of medication, or even a cough that may start to bother you with heart failure.
The main mistake in all this is self-medication, when a person refuses the help of doctors.
This was reported by general practitioner Nadezhda Chernyshova, writes “ Moscow 24 ”.
As the doctor explained, treatment should be related to the cause.
First, it is important to make an accurate diagnosis to understand why exactly the cough appeared, otherwise the treatment will not be effective.
As the doctor explained, if you do not find out the cause of the cough in time, you can cause serious damage to the body.
For example, as Chernyshova emphasized, if you do not start taking antibiotics prescribed by a specialist in time, you can provoke the appearance of additional complications.
