What should I do if I cough severely every time I cough?

Patient's question:

I have been coughing for over two weeks. Why do I cough so hard every time, even to the point of struggling to breathe? Just slightly lifting my head triggers coughing. A chest X-ray at the hospital showed increased texture, and my coughing voice is a bit hoarse.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you: According to your description, first, make sure to rest and drink plenty of water. You should patiently cooperate with your doctor's diagnosis and treatment to avoid recurrence or worsening. At the same time, maintain a balanced diet, stay hydrated, and get plenty of rest to prevent staying up late, fatigue, colds, and irritation from smoking and alcohol. Adjust your mindset, reduce contact with high-risk individuals to prevent cross-infection, and gradually improve and recover. It is recommended that you seek treatment at a professional hospital.
