What should I pay attention to when I have peribronchitis?

No matter what kind of disease people suffer from, they are afraid of it. Peribronchitis is a common one. Many people are familiar with it. But when suffering from this disease, people need to pay attention to some care in life in addition to regular treatment. Here we will introduce to you what you should pay attention to with peribronchitis?

Peribronchitis refers to a chronic, nonspecific inflammation of the trachea, bronchial mucosa, and surrounding tissues. There are different types of bronchitis, and their main symptoms vary. In order to give everyone a more comprehensive understanding of bronchitis, the important symptoms of bronchitis will be introduced in detail below. If you have a disease, please note:

1. Don’t eat cold food

Patients with chronic bronchitis have a long course of illness and most of them have insufficient yang energy in the spleen, lungs, and kidneys, and react strongly to cold foods. Because coldness is stagnant and causes contraction, eating too much cold food can cause tracheal spasm, which is not conducive to the excretion of secretions, thereby aggravating cough and asthma and making it difficult to cough up phlegm.

2. Eat more green vegetables

You can eat more vegetables and soy products at each meal, such as white radish, carrots, green leafy vegetables and other light and easily digestible foods. If bronchitis has dry cough, the patient can eat more antitussive and antiasthmatic foods in normal times. Eat more foods that can relieve cough, relieve asthma, eliminate phlegm, warm the lungs and strengthen the spleen, such as ginkgo, loquat, grapefruit, pumpkin, yam, chestnut, lily, kelp, seaweed, etc.

Acute bronchitis develops quickly, starting with a dry cough and then coughing up sticky or purulent sputum. It is often accompanied by stuffiness or pain behind the sternum. Systemic symptoms such as fever usually improve within 3 to 5 days, but symptoms of cough and sputum often last for 2 to 3 weeks before recovery. The prominent symptom of chronic bronchitis is long-term, recurrent and gradually worsening cough accompanied by sputum. The symptoms of coughing up phlegm are related to whether there is infection or not, and may be mild or severe at times. It may also be accompanied by wheezing and a prolonged course of illness.
