Question

The cough has lasted for over twenty days. Why does it become so severe with every cough, and even lead to difficulty breathing? It starts coughing slightly when raising the head?

Answer

Based on your description, it is recommended to first ensure adequate rest, drink plenty of water, and follow your doctor’s treatment. Avoid repeated exacerbation, maintain a reasonable diet, stay hydrated and well-rested, prevent overexertion, catching a cold, and exposure to tobacco and alcohol. Adjust your mindset. Reduce contact with susceptible individuals to prevent cross-infection and gradually improve and recover. It is suggested that you seek treatment at a professional hospital.
