During the cold winter months, coughing seems to have become an "old friend" for many people. Especially in many cities in northern China, the cold air and dry climate often make people's throats wreath. However, did you know that the source of some people's cough every winter is related to bronchiectasis when they were younger?
Bronchiectasis is a serious respiratory disease that occurs more often in children and adolescents. As a result of a viral or bacterial infection, the walls of the bronchial tubes are damaged, clogging the sputum, causing coughing and difficulty breathing. This condition may be a cause of disease in childhood, and in adulthood, it can trigger a persistent cough whenever the seasons change or the air quality drops.
In China, this seasonal cough is more common due to problems such as air pollution and smoking. Especially in the northern winters, air quality in many homes and public places tends to be poor due to heating needs, increasing the chances of people getting sick.
However, with the increase of people's health awareness, preventive measures have gradually been taken seriously. For example, maintaining good indoor air circulation, quitting smoking, and paying attention to personal hygiene can reduce the risk of illness to some extent. In addition, for patients who already have bronchiectasis, timely** and correct care is also crucial.
All in all, the relationship between cough each winter and bronchiectasis as a child reminds us of the importance of paying attention to respiratory health, preventing bronchiectasis, and managing this disease in a timely manner. Let's take action together to protect the health of ourselves and our families!
