Some of us are afraid of getting sick just to avoid coughing. Because Once we start coughing, it is almost impossible to stop it.

Agree Why won’t the cough go away?

The main reason why a cough lasts for a long time is persistent inflammation.

This inflammation can also have different causes. Among these sources viral and bacterial infections that cause inflammation of the airways and nose has.

Inflammation irritates the mucous membranes of the airways and nose, causing symptoms associated with a cold. It produces mucus, which consists of phlegm and snot.

Again, when substances in the air enter the respiratory tract through the nose or mouth, It activates nerve receptors in the lungs and tells the brain that it can’t get out of here. Pressure then builds up in the diaphragm and these substances are expelled by coughing.

In addition, special immune cells called neutrophils and macrophages help fight infections in the respiratory tract during illness.

At the same time, these cells are anti-inflammatory. Sometimes these cells remain in the airways after the cold has passed. That’s why Coughing may persist after infection.

In addition, sensitive airway tissues can be extra sensitive to particles entering through the nose or mouth. The reason for this, a complex system of nerves and muscles in the airways, throat, and brain that controls coughing is that it is.

In addition, viruses and mucus are reflex attractants and During illness, coughing becomes a reflex. When the inflammation subsides, this reflex becomes less sensitive and the cough disappears.
