Cough Convulsive

Coughing is an involuntary and loud reflex expressed by the rapid exhalation of air from the lungs through the vocal cords. It can be caused by various factors such as upper respiratory tract infection, allergies, environmental irritants and others. However, there are times when a cough can be involuntary or even dangerous to a person's health. One such case is convulsive cough.

A convulsive cough is a type of cough that is manifested by spasms of the muscles of the larynx and pharynx. This type of cough can occur as a result of several reasons, including infection, allergies, chronic lung disease, and even stress. In most cases, convulsive cough goes away without treatment, but sometimes requires consultation with a doctor.

Symptoms of a convulsive cough may include an increase in the depth, frequency, strength, and duration of the cough. In addition, the person may experience muscle spasms in the neck or jaw, or pressure or pain in the chest or throat. Sometimes a convulsive cough is accompanied by episodes of convulsions on the face or the whole body.

The cause of a convulsive cough may be irritation of the respiratory tract or an allergic reaction to any irritant. A cough is often unproductive and does not bring relief because it cannot “clear” due to the lack of air.

Convulsive cough (*-s(k)^o; synonym: K. convulsive, K. convulsive *) - frequent, strong, dry, hacking cough that occurs in diseases of the lower respiratory tract and is characterized by the presence or absence of periods during which the patient’s breathing stops. In the interictal periods, an attack of cough may occur - more often dry, barking, wheezing, less often - a wet, unproductive cough, which also contributes to the appearance of respiratory disorders.
