Mustard plasters for dry and wet cough

Most often, warming procedures are carried out with a dry and unproductive cough. The active components of mustard seeds penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin, dilate blood vessels. This helps to increase blood circulation, thins the mucous sputum and improves its discharge.

Mustard patches are recommended for bacterial and viral infections affecting the middle and upper sections of the windpipe. The drug is prescribed for bronchitis, pneumonia, laryngitis, pharyngitis. If you have a wet cough, you should consult with your doctor about the safety of the procedure. This will reduce the risk of dangerous complications and side effects.

A local remedy is used as a distracting element of therapy with a persistent increase in systemic pressure (hypertensive crisis). Warming with mustard powder can be used for lesions of the structures of the peripheral nervous system, diseases of the skeletal muscles and angina attacks. The drug acts at the site of acute inflammation, muscle or vascular spasm, reduces pain and reduces reactive edema.

Mustard plasters for dry cough

Unproductive or dry cough occurs due to increased sensitivity of the nerve endings of the respiratory tract. Its peculiarity is that it is one of the symptoms of many serious diseases.

Since sputum is not normally secreted, coughing turns from a protective mechanism into a dangerous phenomenon. It does not alleviate the patient's well-being, but rather exhausts and aggravates the condition: it can lead to bouts of asphyxia, cause vomiting, urinary incontinence and other problems.

Dry cough most often occurs with such diseases:

• Tuberculosis
• Bronchitis
• Whooping cough
• Asthma and others.

Treatment methods depend on the cause of its occurrence. If the disease state is provoked by an infectious lesion of the body, then procedures with mustard plasters will only accelerate the spread of the infection.

Mustard plasters for dry cough are effective if it has a bacterial etiology. Warming procedures will help get rid of unpleasant symptoms in 5-10 sessions.

For complex heating, therapeutic patches are placed on the back, chest and feet of the patient. At the same time, local therapy acts as an auxiliary therapeutic method, the main emphasis is on expectorant drugs and systemic drugs.

Mustard plasters with a wet cough

Cough is a protective reaction of the body to irritation of the respiratory tract. It does not belong to independent diseases, but acts as one of the symptoms of other pathologies. A wet or wet cough indicates that a certain amount of mucus and sputum is produced and accumulated in the bronchi.

Treatment methods depend on the causes of the disease state, which include:

• Tracheitis
• Pharyngitis
• Laryngitis
• Bronchitis
• pneumonia
• SARS
• Flu

A laboratory examination of sputum is mandatory. If the tracheobronchial secret contains a large amount of mucus, then this is a sign of an allergic or cold-infectious process in the bronchi, lungs. The yellowish-green color of sputum indicates impurities of pus, which in turn may be a symptom of bronchitis or pneumonia.

If you expectorate white curdled discharge, then most likely it is a fungal respiratory infection. Transparent and watery sputum is characteristic of viral infections and chronic diseases of the respiratory system.

Mustard plasters with a wet cough have a local warming effect, increase blood flow at the site of inflammation and stimulate phagocytosis. This leads to hyperproduction of sputum and its delayed discharge. Therefore, in this case, it is better not to use mustard plasters for treatment.

Instead of mustard compresses, inhalations will be useful, which are based on the inhalation of medicinal and biologically active substances. Inhalations reduce the density and viscosity of sputum, speed up the healing process. It will also be useful to drink plenty of warm water and the obligatory intake of mucolytes, which accelerate the discharge of mucous secretions.

Mustard plasters for chest cough

Chest cough is a complex reflex action caused by the accumulation of mucus or stimulation of nerve endings in the airways. Causes pain, feeling of pressure and congestion in the chest with painful cough attacks.

The main causes of an unpleasant condition are associated with infectious and inflammatory diseases of the upper and lower respiratory tract that have arisen against the background of bacterial or viral infections:

• Pharyngitis
• Laryngitis
• Tracheitis
• Bronchitis
• Pneumonia

In addition to infection, the disease state may be due to non-inflammatory irritation of the respiratory tract by allergens, excessive stress on the vocal cords, tumor neoplasms, and parasitic infestations.

Treatment is made by the attending physician. The basis of therapy is expectorant drugs that accelerate sputum separation and moisturizing the respiratory tract. Mustard plasters act as an auxiliary method and are used if the inflammatory process is the basis of the disease. Procedures are not carried out at elevated body temperature.

Mustard plasters with a strong cough

A strong cough occurs with many diseases that affect the respiratory tract. The symptoms, duration and treatment of cough attacks depend on their etiology.

Local warming therapy is effective when a strong cough is unproductive. In this case, the patient is prescribed procedures with mustard plasters, as they accelerate blood circulation and stimulate the liquefaction of stagnant mucus, alleviating the painful condition.

If a strong cough occurs with increased body temperature and expectoration of sputum, then patches with mustard seeds are not used. This is due to the increased load on the weakened body and the risk of complications.

Mustard plasters for cough and runny nose

One of the most common and at the same time unpleasant symptoms that accompany most colds with a cough is rhinitis. Mustard plasters with a cold relieve the painful condition and speed up the healing process. The need for their use is due to the following properties:

• Local irritant.
• Warming action.
• Enhance blood circulation.
• Activate metabolic processes.
• Improve breathing
• Remove swelling from the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract.
• Reduce inflammatory processes.

Mustard lotions can be placed on the chest and legs. In the first case, the essential oils released will penetrate the nasal passages, reducing congestion and facilitating nasal breathing. If mustard plasters are put on their feet, then for more efficient heating they are wrapped with cling film and warm socks are put on top. After removing the compress, you should drink hot herbal tea and lie down under a warm blanket.

Despite all the benefits of mustard plasters, one should not forget that mustard seeds contain substances with high biological activity. Because of this, improper use of the drug can be harmful. Children should be especially careful when applying compresses, as their skin is more sensitive to irritants. Therefore, before conducting a local warming procedure, you should consult with your doctor.

Mustard plasters for cough and temperature

Elevated body temperature and a feverish state are contraindications to the use of mustard plasters. The therapeutic effect of a local remedy is based on an irritating factor. Due to this, blood circulation increases on the skin, metabolic and regenerative processes are accelerated.

The higher the body temperature, the faster the blood circulates in the body, which increases the load on the heart, lungs, liver and kidneys. Protective reactions are activated in the body, therefore, warming procedures are prohibited when hyperthermia is more than 37 ° C. Any other thermal procedures are also prohibited. You can not soar your legs, drink hot liquids, wrap yourself in a warm blanket.

Since the body is already weakened, increased loads are dangerous with serious complications. You can put mustard plasters after taking antipyretic drugs. As soon as the body temperature returns to normal, the compresses will do their job and relieve coughing attacks.

Mustard plasters with barking cough

A barking cough is one of the varieties of dry and a frequent sign of the initial phase of SARS. Penetrating the mucous membrane, viruses and bacteria cause its swelling and inflammation. As the inflammatory process progresses, it spreads to the vocal cords, giving the cough a rough barking character. It is difficult for the patient to speak, breathing is disturbed, due to spasms of the respiratory muscles, signs of hypoxia increase.

In addition to colds, barking cough occurs with many childhood infectious diseases: measles, diphtheria, scarlet fever. Frequent coughing attacks injure the mucous membrane of the upper respiratory tract and throat, disrupt night sleep.

Treatment of a painful condition depends on the causes of its origin. If an unpleasant symptom is caused by a cold, there is no high temperature and sputum, then mustard plasters will help. With a barking cough, they are placed on the chest and back. The duration of such therapy is 3-5 days. But the main emphasis in treatment is on medications of central and symptomatic action. Also, to speed up recovery, various physiotherapy and multivitamin complexes are used.

Mustard plasters for sore throat and cough

Tonsils perform the function of immune protection against pathogens. If an infection enters the body, the area of the tonsils and pharynx becomes inflamed, which indicates the development of acute tonsillitis. Most often, angina occurs due to the action of pathogenic flora on a weakened immune system.

The diseased condition proceeds with sore throat, cough, difficulty swallowing, general weakness and malaise. At first, a feverish state with elevated body temperature is possible. The basis of treatment is strict bed rest, drinking plenty of fluids, taking antibiotics, antimicrobials, and antipyretics.

Mustard plasters for sore throat and cough are used if there is no high temperature. Compresses are applied to the sternum, neck and legs. Warming procedures stimulate metabolic processes in the body, accelerating the healing process. In addition, mustard plasters significantly alleviate coughing attacks and restore a normal voice. In addition to plasters with mustard seeds, inhalations, hot baths and gargling with herbal decoctions will be useful.

Mustard plasters with a lingering cough

The main difference between a protracted cough and an acute one is its duration. If an unpleasant symptom persists for more than three weeks, then this indicates the development of its protracted form. Such a cough is not as painful as acute, but it interferes with a good night's rest, reduces efficiency, and negatively affects the overall quality of life.

Most often, a prolonged cough develops against the background of bronchitis, pleurisy, pharyngitis. It may be associated with the action of allergens or act as reactions to a polluted environment. In most cases, a prolonged cough is unproductive. Occurs regardless of the time of day, aggravated after physical activity.

The treatment of the disease state is complex. Mustard plasters are aimed at accelerating the recovery of the irritated mucous membrane of the respiratory tract. The local agent stimulates blood circulation, anesthetizes, and has an anti-inflammatory effect. Mustard compresses are placed on the chest, neck, back, legs. Warming procedures facilitate coughing and nasal breathing, relieve pain.
