When runny nose and cough appear, the diagnosis is determined almost immediately: a cold, that is, an acute respiratory viral infection (ARVI) or nasopharyngitis
Most diseases that occur in a person at one time or another in life, accompanied by the appearance of a symptom complex of one or more signs that allow you to make a preliminary diagnosis.
The collective concept of many respiratory diseases is a cold. Consider its first signs, methods of their treatment and prevention in children and adults.
Unlike adults, children are much more likely to suffer from colds. This is due to an undeveloped immune system and the insecurity of the child’s body to various viral and bacterial agents.
Many people mistakenly perceive a cough for the disease. In fact, it acts as a protective reflex of the body to a certain pathogen - the virus, harmful microorganisms, the entry of foreign objects into the lungs and the respiratory tract.
Bronchitis is the disease of the lower respiratory tract, which is accompanied by inflammation of the bronchial mucosa. Cough and sputum during bronchitis are characteristic signs of the disease.
Angina is an acute infectious disease, which is accompanied by an inflammation of the tonsils. Therefore, the disease is often called acute tonsillitis, that is, inflammation of the tonsils.
Periodically appearing mukonasal secret can not be considered a symptom of the disease, rather mucus performs its natural function - protection, moisturizing the tissues of nasal passages. Coryza, which differs from natural secretions, in volume, intensity, color and consistency of discharge may be a sign of the first stage of the disease.
Slime, which performs a protective function in relation to many cavities of our body, is simultaneously a protective, antiseptic substance and a substance that maintains a normal level of humidity.
Runny nose, watery eyes, fever, sneezing, coughing are unpleasant symptoms that everyone has to face without exception. At one point, life fades, plans crumble, a wave of extreme discomfort surrounds the person.
