Treatment of cough to vomiting: medicines, folk remedies

Effective treatment of coughing to vomiting depends on the correctness and timeliness of the diagnosis. If the cause of the painful condition, its severity, presence and nature of accompanying symptoms are reliably established, the doctor draws up a treatment plan.

1. Dry cough – provokes irritation of cough receptors by inflammatory processes, inhalation of polluted, cold or hot air. Antitussives that suppress cough reflexes are used for treatment. Without the use of such medications, serious complications may develop: pneumothorax, increased blood pressure, pneumomediastinum, sleep disorders, headaches and dizziness.

Medicines:

• Central action – suppress cough reflexes at the level of the medulla oblongata. This category includes: Codeine, Oxeladin, Ethylmorphine, Glaucine and others.
• Peripheral action – suppress cough reflexes locally and affect receptors. Broncholitin, Sinekod, Libexin.

In addition to drug therapy, copious drinking is recommended to eliminate the painful condition. You should drink at least two liters of water daily to transfer the disease to a productive form. Drinking plenty of fluids relieves irritation in the throat and weakens attacks of vomiting cough. Steam inhalations with medicinal substances, air humidification, massage and other physiotherapy procedures are also recommended.

2. Wet cough is a productive form of the disorder, provoked by mucous discharge. Sputum is formed by viral and bacterial pathogens, and also acts as a protective function of the respiratory organs. Its appearance is possible with the pathological effect on the tracheobronchial tree of drugs used for dry cough.

• Mucolytics – liquefy phlegm and promote its rapid removal from the body. Ambroxol, ACC, Mucaltin, Halixol, Gerbion, Stoptusin and others. Such drugs are contraindicated for patients under two years of age.
• Mucokinetic (expectorant) drugs - their action is aimed at removing mucous secretions from the body. Ambrobene, Mucaltin, Doctor MOM.

Vitamins

For the normal functioning of the body, all its organs and systems, it is recommended to take vitamins and minerals. Some of them are synthesized and produced by cells, others must be obtained from external sources, that is, from food products and ready-made pharmacy complexes.

Chronic and acute respiratory diseases (laryngitis, flu, pneumonia, tracheitis, bronchitis, etc.) are the main cause of coughing, which leads to vomiting. Such conditions require complete, comprehensive treatment, rich in useful substances.

Patients are recommended to take the following vitamins:

• A – increases the body’s resistance to various infections. Maintains the normal condition of mucous membranes, skin and organs of vision.
• D – stimulates metabolic processes, promotes normal absorption of calcium and phosphorus.
• K – takes part in tissue respiration, maintains normal blood clotting.
• C – participates in the body’s oxidation-reduction processes, increases its resistance to various infections.
• B – this group consists of 15 active independent substances that are responsible for metabolic processes and hematopoiesis.
• E – affects the functioning of the endocrine glands, the metabolism of proteins and carbohydrates, and ensures intracellular metabolism.

To maintain health and quickly recover from inflammatory and other body lesions, minerals are needed. The main ones are: potassium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, zinc, iodine and others. Microelements enter the body with food. The best products for the bronchi and respiratory system are: onions, garlic, carrots, beets, lemons, oranges, dairy products, raspberries, honey, rose hips, cereals, nuts, legumes, lettuce.

Physiotherapy treatment

A comprehensive approach to eliminating any disease, including such a symptom as vomiting cough, is the key to successful recovery. Physiotherapy treatment has general strengthening properties that minimize pain when coughing, normalize blood circulation, prevent hypoxia and thickening of the bronchial walls. Physiotherapy is carried out both during an exacerbation of the disease and during remission. It can also be prescribed for preventive purposes to prepare the body for potential threats.

Effective physiotherapeutic methods:

1. Chest massage is the most accessible physiotherapy procedure. To improve blood circulation, expand the bronchi and speed up the removal of sputum, rub and tap the sternum with your fingers. The procedure takes 10-15 minutes. Warm oil with warming properties is used for the massage.
2. Inhalations – the effect on the body is based on the inhalation of medicinal substances. The therapy has bronchodilator, expectorant and antibacterial properties. This method is suitable for the treatment of pregnant women and children. Inhalations are carried out using nebulizers, steam inhalers. Herbal oils and infusions, medical solutions and mineral water are used as a medicine.
3. UHF therapy – this method is based on the effect of high-frequency electric current on the body. It has anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, immunostimulating and analgesic properties. The procedures are carried out daily, 10-12 sessions are indicated for treatment.
4. Magnetic therapy is effective in the treatment of ENT diseases. It relieves inflammation and improves metabolic processes, stimulates tissue renewal and alleviates pain symptoms.
5. Electrophoresis - the body is exposed to electric current with simultaneous administration of drugs and injections. Promotes rapid liquefaction and removal of phlegm.

In addition to the above physiotherapy procedures, the use of compresses, therapeutic exercise, contrast showers and rubdowns, pine and salt baths are indicated to alleviate the pathological condition. Physiotherapeutic treatment is carried out according to a doctor's prescription. The doctor takes into account the general condition of the body, the severity of the disorder and the presence of contraindications to the selected procedures.

Folk remedies

In addition to classic medications used to treat many diseases, there are many equally effective methods. Folk treatment of coughing that leads to vomiting is carried out using the following recipes:

• Grind 500 g of onions, add a couple of tablespoons of honey and 400 g of granulated sugar. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly and simmer over low heat for 3 hours, pouring in a liter of boiled water. The finished product must be cooled and filtered. The medicine must be stored in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator. The decoction is taken slightly warmed, 1 tablespoon 4-6 times a day.
• Take equal parts honey and melted goat fat. Combine the ingredients and apply to the chest. Put some compress paper on top of the medicine and wrap it with a warm downy shawl. This method alleviates coughing and the frequency of vomiting attacks.
• To speed up expectoration, it is recommended to use fresh cabbage juice with sugar or honey. From these ingredients, you can prepare a decoction that stops coughing fits and hoarseness.
• 4-5 walnuts with shells, a tablespoon of elderberry and honey, pour 500 ml of water. Boil the remedy over medium heat for an hour, cool and strain. Take 2-3 times a day, 1 tablespoon.
• Take 100 g of honey, the same amount of butter and vanilla powder. Mix all the ingredients and take one teaspoon 3-4 times a day.
• Cut 300 g of black radish into small pieces and add 200 g of sugar. Place the ingredients in a baking dish and bake in the oven for 2 hours on low heat. Pour the resulting liquid into a bottle and take 2 teaspoons 3-4 times a day, as well as before going to bed.

Before using the above recipes, you should consult your doctor.

[ 19 ], [ 20 ], [ 21 ], [ 22 ], [ 23 ]

Herbal treatment

Another unconventional option for eliminating cough is herbal treatment. The following recipes are considered the most effective:

• Take 40 g of marshmallow root and 35 g of naked licorice root, add 25 g of coltsfoot leaves and 15 g of fennel fruits. Grind all the ingredients until smooth and pour 500 ml of boiling water. The remedy should be infused for 2-3 hours, then it needs to be filtered. Take 100 ml of the infusion 3-5 times a day.
• Brew 2-3 teaspoons of elecampane root in a thermos with 250 ml of boiling water. Take the decoction 100 ml 3-4 times a day 30 minutes before meals. The decoction has pronounced expectorant properties, effective for vomiting coughing fits during bronchitis.
• Take equal proportions of vegetable fat, mustard, honey, alcohol and boiled potatoes in their skins. Mix all ingredients and apply to the back. Cover the compress with polyethylene and wrap it in a scarf. Remove the product after it cools.

In addition to the above recipes, eucalyptus alcohol tincture is excellent for fighting cough. The medicine can be purchased at a pharmacy, it is taken 20-30 drops, diluted in 50-70 ml of boiled water at room temperature 3-4 times a day.

Homeopathy

Some patients prefer to use homeopathic remedies to treat the condition when the cough reaches the point of vomiting. Homeopathy can be used from the first days of the disease.

The main drugs for eliminating the painful condition:

• Ammonium carbonicum – coughing fits with abundant mucous sputum. The disorder may be caused by pulmonary-cardiac insufficiency.
• Antimonium tartaricum – cough with vomiting associated with heart failure. Accompanied by difficult to separate sputum, wheezing and chest pain.
• Bryonia – dry, painful attacks that occur regardless of the time of day.
• Drosera rotundifolia – unpleasant symptoms occur in a horizontal position of the body. There are stabbing pains in the chest, facial hyperemia, vomiting.
• Grindelia - difficult to cough up viscous mucopurulent sputum. There is shortness of breath, significant deterioration in general health.
• Ipecacuanha – violent vomiting cough with streaks of blood. Shortness of breath, general weakness and a feeling of exhaustion.
• Spongia – loud coughing fits that intensify with deep inhalation or inhalation of cold air.
• Sulfur iodatum – pain behind the breastbone, mucopurulent sputum, hoarseness.

Homeopathic medicines should be used only as prescribed by a doctor. A homeopath selects a medicine individually for each patient, gives recommendations regarding dosage and duration of therapy.

Surgical treatment

Most often, a cough that leads to vomiting is associated with inflammatory or infectious diseases. In this case, drug therapy and a complex of physiotherapy procedures are used to eliminate it. Surgical treatment is most often carried out if the painful condition is caused by a foreign object entering the respiratory tract.

Foreign objects enter the respiratory system through the oral cavity during inhalation. The danger is that they can block the air supply to the respiratory tract. If large particles enter the bronchi, this can cause not only inflammation, but also suppuration.

Most often, small children encounter foreign bodies in the larynx, bronchi and trachea, who put small objects in their mouths and can inhale them. Similar situations are observed in adults, for example, when talking or laughing while eating. The resulting reflex spasm significantly worsens the painful condition.

The presence of a foreign object is indicated by the following symptoms:

• Difficulty breathing.
• Shortness of breath.
• Cough with vomiting.
• Blueness around the nose and mouth.
• Increased lacrimation.
• Brief cessation of breathing.

All of the above symptoms may appear and disappear. Very often the voice becomes hoarse, there is shortness of breath and noisy inhalation. The treatment tactics in this case are reduced to the extraction of objects and particles that have entered the respiratory tract. When choosing a method of therapy, the localization, size, consistency, shape and degree of displacement of the object are taken into account. Age and individual characteristics of the patient's body are also taken into account.

Surgical treatment is carried out using the following methods:

• Laryngoscopy – allows you to identify and remove foreign bodies in the larynx, trachea and vocal cords.
• Tracheotomy – using a scalpel, an external opening is made in the trachea and a special tube is inserted to facilitate the breathing process.
• Tracheobronchoscopy – an endoscope is inserted into the oral cavity, which delivers a special instrument to the lesion and removes the foreign body.

Surgical treatment may be prescribed for advanced chronic bronchitis, when the glandular tissues of the bronchi and lungs are atrophied, as well as for ENT pathologies.
