Cough - Symptoms to Diagnosis

• 1. Mild cough
• Coughing is a natural way of the body to
  eliminate foreign substances from the airway like
  food particles, mucus, phlegm, dust and more.
  This type of coughing is usually mild and
  disappears as soon as the irritant is removed
  from your air pipes. Cold or fever induced
  coughing can last up to three weeks and is also
  considered normal or harmless as your body takes
  a while to recover. Such cough goes away on its
  own or with the help of home remedies and
  over-the-counter khasi ki dawa.

• 2. When to see a doctor
• If your coughing continues for more than three
  weeks, it usually means you need professional
  help to treat it and should probably see a
  doctor. Additionally, if you cough up blood or
  bloody mucus, you should definitely go see your
  doctor. You should also immediately see your
  doctor if you experience symptoms like shortness
  of breath, long-term fever, wheezing, loss of
  appetite, night sweats, chest pain and choking in
  addition to khasi or coughing

• 3. Serious issues
• Coughing can sometimes be an indication of more
  serious health issues which is why you should not
  avoid seeing a doctor. A chronic cough can be
  caused due to bronchitis, lung cancer, heart
  failure, asthma or tuberculosis. This type of
  khansi ka ilaj can be more long-term and can only
  be provided by doctors and professionals. When
  you see a doctor, your doctor will have a much
  better chance of treating it, starting with
  testing and diagnosing the issue.

• 4. Testing and diagnoses
• Depending on your symptoms, your doctor will
  evaluate your condition with the help of thorough
  testing and physical exams. Some of the tests
  that your doctor can order are chest X-rays, CT
  scan and blood samples. Additionally, theyll
  also ask you detailed questions to try and
  understand the underlying problem and triggers of
  your lingering cough which will lead to a proper
  diagnosis.

• 5. Treatment
• Depending on the diagnosis, your doctor will
  immediately decide a plan of action for your
  treatment starting with temporary relief remedies
  for your cough. The efficiency of any treatment
  will first and foremost depend on how steady and
  regular you are with it. Its unfair to expect
  immediate relief or cure, especially in cases of
  more serious problems. Which is why you have to
  stick to the treatment if you want the treatment
  to work in the long run.
