A cough can be a sign of a disease, or the result of an excessive load on the trachea and larynx (loud screaming or talking), or it can be a consequence of a cold.
Unfortunately, not all antibiotics can help with coughs.
They will absolutely not be useful to you when:
- mechanical damage to the throat;
- in case of a viral infection.
Cough is the result of the vital activity of microorganisms located on the mucous membranes of the throat and actively multiplying there. Dying, these microorganisms clog the human blood with a large number of toxins. The human body, resisting this phenomenon, actively fights against such poisoning, provoking the cessation of the release of fluid from the affected cells. Excess fluid, accumulating in the tissues, favors the development of edema, and these, in turn, provoke spasms of the respiratory tract.
Antibiotics for runny nose and wet cough are not indicated.
They are especially dangerous when treating a cough in a child. However, for a child with a prolonged strong cough and rapid breathing, it is recommended to use amoxicillin or cotrimoxazole (oral), or an injection of procaine penicillin salt.
Antibiotics for children when coughing should be injected intramuscularly, in a hospital setting. Usually, injections of benzylpenicillin are given (if the child has not yet reached the age of two months, then gentamicin is also added to the benzopenicillin).
With a barking dry cough and cyanosis (a bluish skin tone that occurs due to a lack of oxygen in the blood), as well as if the child is unable to drink on his own, he just needs to be transported to a hospital environment and undergo courses of injections of benzylpenicillin with gentamicin or an injection chloramphenicol.
That is, we can say that benzylpenicillin with gentamicin or chlorampheniol represent the so-called children's antibiotic.
The characteristic qualities of a children's antibiotic are:
- soft, but effective effect on the child's body;
- pleasant, sweet taste (if the antibiotic is available in the form of a suspension).
In such a situation, everything possible is done to ensure that the child takes the anti-inflammatory drug without tears and disgust.
Antibiotics can be useful for coughs and fever, if you feel sick and your throat is very sore (red).
It is a little easier when an antibiotic is prescribed for coughing in adults. In this case, we are dealing with a well-established, mature immune system, which sometimes needs outside help.
There can be only one conclusion from all of the above: when coughing and with a cold, it is best not to use antibiotics of synthetic origin.
However, do not forget that there are also antibiotics of natural origin.
We can say that natural antibiotics help us defeat many diseases without resorting to the use of drugs.
Medicines of natural origin were invented by Mother Nature herself, so you should not ignore their use, and it is better to use the richest piggy bank of ancient natural drugs.
