Dry Cough and Vomiting


Lets first discuss what is a dry cough? Dry cough is a cough which doesn't produce anything. Opposite to dry cough is productive cough which produce phelgm. I had to clear the difference between two coughs as there are a lot of people who are confused with dry cough and accompanied by vomiting.

Why we get Cough? Simple the body reacts to excess secretions in the breathing passage with a defensive reflex action which we call as cough.

Common Cause of Dry Cough and Vomiting

Cough can sometimes lead to vomiting. Vomiting Phelgm. Some people misjudge vomiting phelgm to dry vomiting. There is nothing called as dry vomiting. However some people who are not able to bring out something even after trying to vomit and just blow air, they term it to be dry vomiting. In such cases there is always a phelgm or some kind of microbe in the respiratory system, which is unable to come out. So people who refer to suffer from dry vomiting must first deal with cough.

Smoking is one common reason which is related to cough. Have you had an extra packet of cigarette the other night. Today if you suffer from dry cough and vomiting don't be surprised. I know sometime's it can get overwhelmingly irritating but then you will have to bring down the number of cigarette's.

Sometimes you might get blood when you vomit. Consult a doctor when you see excess blood. However most common reason for blood coming out in vomit is the nose bleeding which lets the blood into the stomach, which is thrown out when you cough or vomit. It can be caused due to some other diseases as well, please consult a doctor if it continues.

Health Tip: Don't panic every time you see blood in cough or vomit. Think what might have went wrong in past few days. If you don't get any satisfactory answer or the dry cough vomit continues consult a doctor.

Trapped In Lift - do this...


What to do when you are trapped in a lift ???

We never know when and where accidents will happen to us OR people around us. Read on and hope this piece of information may help any of us when things do happen to yourself, our friends and our loved ones.
One day, while in a lift, it suddenly broke down and it was falling from level 13 at a fast speed. Fortunately, I remembered watching a TV program that taught you must quickly press all the buttons for all the levels.
Finally, the lift stopped at the 5th level.
When you are facing life and death situations, whatever decisions or actions you make decides your survival.
If you are caught in a lift breakdown, first thought in mind may be 'waiting to die'...
But after reading below, things will definitely be different the next time you are caught in a lift...
First - Quickly press all the different levels of buttons in the lift.
When the emergency electricity supply is being activated, it will stop the lift from falling further.
Second - Hold on tight to the handle (if there is any).. It is to support your position and prevent you from falling or getting hurt when you lost your balance.
Third - Lean your back and head against the wall forming a straight line.
Leaning against the wall is to use it as a support for your back/spine as protection.
Fourth - Bend your knees
Ligament is a flexible, connective tissue. Thus, the impact of fractured bones will be minimised during fall.
