Cough is a particularly common phenomenon, usually due to the trachea or pleura and other parts, stimulated by some foreign bodies, inflammation or gas, resulting in symptoms.
Especially when suffering from some respiratory diseases, this cough phenomenon will be more obvious.
But in daily life, there are many people who do not cough during the day and only cough at night. Below, let's take a closer look at it.
What are the reasons for not coughing during the day and coughing at night?
1. Allergic cough
The main cause of the phenomenon of no cough during the day and cough at night is generally related to the development of allergic cough.
Especially in the sleep environment, there are too many mites, pollen, animal dander, or in the sleep environment there is a lot of cigarette smoke, stir-fry oil smoke, it will lead to allergies, so that the trachea is strongly stimulated, so that when people sleep at night, there is a violent irritating dry cough phenomenon.
In addition, some people also have allergic coughs after eating some food at night, such as eggs, seafood, milk, etc. It can also cause an allergic reaction, resulting in a irritating and irritating dry cough in the respiratory tract.
In addition, the patient's throat will also have an itching sensation and a foreign body sensation. If the allergen is not treated early and removed, it can lead to the development of chronic cough, accompanied by symptoms such as anxiety, insomnia, and urinary incontinence.
2. Cough variant asthma
When suffering from cough variant asthma, patients develop a very pronounced night cough. The cause of cough variant asthma is not clear, but it is generally believed that there are many allergens in the environment, or the inhalation of a large amount of cold air, as well as the occurrence of some inflammatory infections, so that the airway is inflamed, the smooth muscles of the airway are stimulated, and abnormal contractions are caused.
Once sick, the patient will have a very obvious and violent cough before going to bed at night, or in the early hours of the morning.
This cough is very stubborn, and even if you take some cough medications, or antibiotic drugs, this cough will still occur repeatedly. However, patients generally do not have chest tightness, shortness of breath, shortness of breath, and wheezing.
2. Chronic bronchitis
For patients with chronic bronchitis, the cough phenomenon is generally more obvious in the morning at the beginning of the disease. And when coughing, some white foamy sputum will be coughed up, accompanied by symptoms such as shortness of breath and wheezing.
At night, when sleeping, there will be a coughing sensation, accompanied by poor breathing. However, if a lung infection is concomitant, there will be a night cough and sputum production.
Especially when lying flat at night, because there will be too much secretion, the airway will be stimulated, resulting in a more serious cough at night.
All in all, if there is no cough during the day and more serious cough at night in daily life, it is generally caused by the above three types of diseases.
In addition, if there is a stimulating dry cough at night, accompanied by poor breathing, hoarseness, chest tightness, chest pain, and blood in sputum, it must be vigilant, and it is very likely that it is related to the appearance of cancer cells in the lungs.
Therefore, when this situation occurs, it is necessary to quickly go to the hospital for treatment and give corresponding treatment according to the cause.
In addition, be sure to quit smoking and alcohol, and pay more attention to the adjustment of the sleeping environment. You should also add more water every day, which can effectively improve the situation.
