Almost everyone has experienced coughing. Especially at the turn of seasons, from rainy to dry season, or vice versa. Therefore, this disease is often referred to as a seasonal disease.
Coughing did not know the age and gender. This means that men and women, small children and adults, can be affected by coughing. Cough symptoms usually do not stand up alone, but accompanied by other symptoms, such as the most common is cold.
According to health practitioners from the Central Pertamina Hospital (RSPP) Jakarta, dr S Titis Iramawati, climate change is most often affects health so that they appear symptoms of cough and colds. Because at times like this, bacteria and viruses causing coughs and colds breed well.
"As a result during this season is usually a lot of people affected by cough and colds. It is one of the symptoms of influenza," he told Republika.
Titis explained, but because bacteria and viruses, cough can also be caused by certain diseases. Example is asthma and allergies. At the time the weather changes, asthma and allergic diseases will be easy to relapse. As a result patients will also experience symptoms as cough and recurrent illness follow-up reaction.
Immune system (immune system), light Titis, a very important role to prevent the occurrence of symptoms of cough and colds. "People with immune system a good going is not easy these symptoms," he added.
Other health practitioners, Dr. Diana Komara, said cough is not a disease. Coughing is none other than the normal form of protective mechanism, in which respiratory banda trying to remove foreign or excess mucus production.
"For example, if there is dust, mucus, smoke, or other foreign objects jammed in the throat, the body will cough them out," jelasny told reporters last week.
According to Diana, these symptoms often brings its own disadvantages for patients. For example school children, he will lose time and hours of study in schools. Meanwhile, for workers, he would lose their productive time.
Indirectly, cough and cold will reduce the quality of life. Especially in children because it would be a lot of lost time and opportunities to grow.
Category cough
Diana explained, there are several categories of cough based on time. Namely acute and chronic cough. Acute cough is a symptom of the occurrence of less than three weeks and is usually caused by colds and allergies.
While chronic cough is a symptom of cough that occurred more than three to eight weeks. This type of cough is usually due to bronchitis, post nasal drip syndrome (PNDS), asthma, and reflux gastroesofageal.
"While based on productivity, there are two types of known cough. That is the productive cough that produces phlegm and non-productive cough that is dry cough and phlegm is not," said Diana who is also medical advisor of PT. This Combiphar.
In general, he continued, the cause of cough is what irritates the respiratory tract (foreign material, dust, smoke). while also a common cause (infection, flu, sinusitis), other diseases (allergies, asthma, bronchitis, PNDS), and the side effects of drugs (Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitors).
Colds
Diana went on to explain about the symptoms that usually accompanies a cold cough. Cold, he says, is a state of disease caused by a viral infection located in the nose. Colds are usually also include sinus, ear, and and the channels in the lung (bronchus).
Symptoms of colds include sneezing, runny and stuffy nose, itchy or sore throat, hoarse, and mild symptoms. Such as headaches, fever, and a sense mengggigil not feeling well overall.
"Someone get a cold two to four times a year. The main causes of this phenomenon is the Rhinovirus. Viruses of this type can only exist in the cells alive. This means that these viruses can not survive in the outside environment. Rhinovirus can only live on human nasal and chimpanzees and other primates, "said Diana explained.
So how does a cold virus infection can occur? Diana explained, a cold virus assembled in the human nose is usually derived from contaminated fingers. Also because of breathing air contaminated by coughing or sneezing of others (droplets).
A small number of viruses (1 to 30 particles) can cause a person already infected and cause symptoms of flu or colds. The incubation period required for the virus to grow more and more is 8 to 12 hours.
"The symptoms will begin to feel cold immediately after the first virus to reproduce, which is approximately 10 to 12 hours. The time from first infection to occur the peak of infection, take 36 to 72 hours," said Diana.
In children, still said Diana, the frequency of cough and colds are more frequent. Which is about 6 to 10 times a year, even up to 12 times. The reason is because they often play near (close contact) with friends at school sepermainannya.
It was also the cause of women aged 20 to 30 years are affected more often coughs colds than men. "The cause is most rhinovirus. But if the cause is the parainfluenza viruses and respiratory viruses synctial, it will cause the symptoms of lower respiratory tract infections are acute," said Diana.
Symptoms of cough colds can also cause complications. Ie in the form of acute bacterial sinusitis (occurs in 1 to 5 percent of patients) and middle ear infections (especially in children). Sebnayak 75 percent of patients with colds cough pressure changes in the fallopian Eustachius.
