Coughing brings a lot of inconvenience to a person, especially if it is a prolonged cough. He may find himself in the wrong place, at the wrong time, and sometimes it is quite difficult to muffle and control him consciously. Cough, as a rule, lasts a long time, and there is still a long enough period of time, even if the disease is already cured. Coughing causes not only physical discomfort, pain in the chest, sternum, but also leads to psychological discomfort. However, it must be borne in mind that the cough is a reflex reaction of the body, acts as one of the protective mechanisms of the body. Getting rid of coughing is not always as easy as we would like. But it can  help coughing cough much.

Does cough erystep help?

Erespal helps to quickly and effectively cope with the cough of any etiology: allergic, bacterial, viral. It is included in the complex therapy for colds, acute respiratory infections, SARS, angina, tracheitis, tracheobronchitis, rhinitis, sinusitis, sinusitis.

Any cough occurs in response to irritation or blockage of the respiratory tract and is aimed at their release, cleansing, bringing out products that cause this reaction. A strong reflex contraction of the respiratory tract acts as a mechanism that pushes side substances outwardly, freeing the airways. Erespal enhances this effect. Thus, the answer to the question: “Does cough erectile help?” Suggests itself - yes, coughing is just the remedy that helps get rid of cough and prevent relapse.

What cough did you get?

Definitely answer the question, from what cough eraspal, impossible. It helps from both dry and wet cough. The fact is that a wet cough is productive. That is, it is a more favorable form of cough, in which recovery occurs much faster. This is due to the fact that with a wet cough, an intensive discharge of sputum occurs, mucus is removed outside, respectively, the inflammatory and infectious process is rather quickly removed, the person quickly recovers. With a wet cough, erespal stimulates the receptors even more, enhancing the cough reflex. Thus, the airways are rapidly cleared.

As for dry cough, this type of cough is considered as heavy, unproductive. During this cough, there is a slight stimulation of the receptors, sputum and mucus are not expelled. Accordingly, despite the cough, relief does not come, the state is aggravated, it exhausts the person. Erespal promotes the transition of dry to wet cough. Therefore, answering the question: “from what cough did you sleep?”, Some say that it helps only with a wet cough (which is quite fair, because the main effect of the drug begins exactly when the cough has already become wet. Others believe that it is effective both when wet and when dry coughing (since recovery occurs in both cases).

In addition, eraspal is prescribed as a prophylactic, especially for children in the epidemic season, to moisturize the mucous membranes, allergic reactions and colds, congestion, diseases of the nasopharynx, pharynx, upper and lower respiratory tract. It is most effective in cases of bacterial and viral genesis. Due to the active components that are part of this tool, it indirectly acts as a local means of immune defense of the body, stimulating the production of local immunoglobulin, stimulating a system of nonspecific resistance.

Indications Erespala

There is a fairly large number of indications for the use of Erespal. These are different forms of cough: dry, wet, stagnant. It is used to eliminate those forms of cough, which are the result of respiratory diseases, or are caused by allergies, ingress of foreign material into the respiratory tract. Often, the cough reflex occurs with minor irritation in the airways, and erasal can also eliminate this cough, relieving the condition.

Some doctors prescribe Erespal and for the treatment of smokers' cough, pneumonia, bronchitis, tuberculosis. Assign in the presence of an inflammatory infectious process in the upper and lower respiratory tract, with irritation, redness of the throat, sore throat. Assign when coughing allergic, spasmodic, bacterial, viral, allergic, and unclear genesis, as well as in various forms of angina. It is effective in treating sore throats (catarrhal, follicular, lacunar, fibrinous forms), with tuberculosis, to relieve severely current infectious diseases such as croup, diphtheria, whooping cough, measles. Included in the complex therapy for the treatment of bronchitis, pneumonia, pulmonary pathologies, tracheitis, abscesses, obstruction, attacks, asthmatic component, because it helps to eliminate bronchospasm. An indication for use is both dry and wet cough.

Dry cough

The danger of dry cough is that it causes constant irritation of the respiratory tract, while relief and removal of sputum does not occur. The sputum accumulates, the alveoli and bronchioles become blocked, and they become cramped. Gradually, the cells begin to poison, gas exchange becomes difficult, the excretion of by-products, gases weakly excreted. Therefore, the symptoms of intoxication are increasing, signs of systemic poisoning may develop, local body temperature rises. It is even more poisoning the cells of the respiratory tract, mucous membranes, so a hundred edema develops, mucus can not normally be removed outside. Erespal will help to remove phlegm and toxins by transferring cough to a productive form (to a wet cough). But if it does not help during the week, it is necessary to be examined, since a dry debilitating cough can be one of the symptoms of lung cancer or another serious illness.

From wet cough

Mandatory treatment is required, both from dry cough and from wet cough, since any of these forms is associated with disruption of the normal state of the mucous membranes, is associated with an inflammatory and infectious process. Erespal helps to remove phlegm, reduce fever and inflammation. But you need to undergo a full examination, since it can be a sign of pneumonia, another serious condition that requires treatment. The danger of this condition is associated with the fact that a wet cough progresses rather quickly with no treatment, and becomes the cause of pneumonia, bronchitis. If a cough does not go away for a long time (longer than 3-4 weeks), this may indicate the development of tuberculosis.

Therefore, in the initial stages, the cough can only intensify, but this is seen as a positive trend, since it is necessary that the airway clears. Then the inflammatory process may be reduced. The stronger the cough, the more foreign material is taken out. Accordingly, the inflammatory process is eliminated more quickly, the level of bacterial contamination and viral load is reduced.
