When runny nose and cough appear, the diagnosis is determined almost immediately: a cold, that is, an acute respiratory viral infection (ARVI) or nasopharyngitis
Most diseases that occur in a person at one time or another in life are accompanied by the appearance of a symptom complex of one or more signs that allow a preliminary diagnosis to be made.
Unlike adults, children suffer from colds much more often. This is due to the underdeveloped immune system and the vulnerability of the child's body to various viral and bacterial agents.
Many people mistakenly perceive coughing as a disease. In fact, it is a protective reflex of the body to a certain pathogen - a virus, harmful microorganisms, foreign objects entering the lungs and respiratory tract.
Bronchitis is a disease of the lower respiratory tract, which is accompanied by inflammation of the bronchial mucosa. Cough and phlegm with bronchitis are characteristic signs of the disease.
Angina is an acute infectious disease that is accompanied by inflammation of the tonsils. Therefore, the disease is often called acute tonsillitis, that is, inflammation of the tonsils.
Periodically appearing muco-nasal secretion cannot be considered a symptom of the disease, rather mucus performs its natural function - protection, moisturizing of tissues of the nasal passages. A runny nose, which differs from natural secretions, in volume, intensity, color and consistency of secretions can be a sign of the first stage of the disease.
Mucus, which performs a protective function in relation to many cavities of our body, is simultaneously a protective, antiseptic substance and a substance that maintains a normal level of moisture.
Runny nose, watery eyes, fever, sneezing, coughing - unpleasant symptoms that everyone without exception has had to deal with. In one moment, life fades, plans collapse, a person is covered by a wave of severe discomfort.
