What diseases can a cough warn of: a pulmonologist's answer
Cough is one of the common symptoms of the disease.
But there are many cases when the symptom is provoked by other problems.
Russian pulmonologist Alexander Karabinenko spoke about this in more detail in an interview with Sputnik radio .
For example, a cough can be caused by a bad habit – smoking.
This is especially true for those who have lived with it for more than five years. According to the doctor, smokers cough in the morning to clear their bronchi.
If a man or woman smokes for more than 30 years, then there is a high risk of developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
It is also worth remembering that a cough may appear when taking certain medications.
This unpleasant symptom also occurs with chronic insufficiency. In this case, coughing warns of problems.
Karabinenko added that the causes of cough can be different, self-medication is not worth it, but it is important to seek medical help in a timely manner.
