咳嗽居家療法
楊惟婷整理
咳嗽像呼吸一樣，是一種保護性反射動作，透過咳嗽可以把呼吸道中的「垃圾」清理出來，所以咳嗽同時往往伴有咳痰，痰就是「垃圾」。
事實上，咳嗽保護肺部不受灰塵、塵蟎刺激，少量咳嗽是正常且健康維持氣管暢通的方式。
一、持續咳嗽的原因
即使是保護性反射動作，如果咳嗽劇烈，影響睡眠和進食，也要治療。但如果咳得太厲害，那就說明肺臟出問題。如果長期咳嗽刺激，使咳嗽中樞持久處於高度興奮狀態，這時的咳嗽就不是具有保護作用的反射動作，應該積極止咳。
咳嗽有許多不同病因，包括呼吸道本身的病變，如呼吸道過敏、慢性非感染性發炎、感染性發炎、腫瘤、先天器官畸形、胸壁疾患、外傷；或心因性咳嗽、縱隔腔器官組織病變，如腫瘤、胃食道逆流，以及橫膈周圍臟器致病（如嚴重腎病或肝病），影嚮胸肺部等，都是可能的病因。
- 持續咳嗽常是病毒感染鼻腔、鼻竇和氣管等上呼吸道的症狀。
感冒和流感是常見的上呼道感染。當發聲的喉部也連帶發炎（喉炎），會引發疼痛和嗓音嘶啞。
- 也可能因為鼻涕倒流，造成對喉部的刺激而咳嗽。鼻涕倒流是指黏液由鼻腔後部倒流進入喉嚨。咳嗽也可能伴隨許多慢性病。
- 過敏和氣喘發作，常會不由自主地咳嗽。
- 抽菸的人也會咳。
- 環境的刺激物，包括煙霧、灰塵、二手煙以及空氣乾冷等天候因素也會誘發咳嗽。
- 咳嗽有時候是因為胃酸倒流進入食道，在極少數情況下，甚至進入肺部，稱做「胃食道逆流」。
- 不過，即使沒有任何潛在疾病，有的人也會習慣性咳嗽。
二、緩解持續性咳嗽的居家療法
日常保健避免咳嗽不止，包括支氣管炎咳嗽劇烈者，忌食辛辣菸酒等刺激的食物，如胡椒、辣椒、蒜、蔥、韭菜等。
咳嗽痰多黏膩者，忌食油膩及黏滯的食物，如肥肉、奶油、油炸品、花生、糯米等。
亦可採取以下步驟緩解持續性咳嗽：
- 多喝水：液體能幫助清喉嚨。建議喝水或果汁，不要喝汽水或咖啡。
- 使用潮濕機：感冒時，喉嚨容易受乾燥空氣刺激引發咳嗽。使用潮濕機濕潤空氣，呼吸更自在。
- 含喉糖：喉糖可以紓緩輕微的喉嚨疼痛或喉嚨乾燥等不適，預防咳嗽。
- 嘗試蜂蜜：加2茶匙的蜂蜜於溫茶或溫檸檬水裡。有研究指出，睡前給予2歲以上的幼兒飲用蜂蜜水能減輕夜咳，改善睡眠。
但不要餵1歲以下的嬰兒喝蜂蜜，讓嬰兒吃到帶有污染花粉或細菌的蜂蜜，可能引起罕見卻嚴重的食物中毒—─嬰兒肉毒桿菌中毒。
- 墊高床頭：假如是胃酸逆流引起的咳嗽，建議將床頭墊高10～15公分。另外，避免在睡前2～3小時飲食。
- 別喝咳嗽糖漿：別浪費錢在非處方咳嗽糖漿因為它們不見得有效。
三、捏捏小手有助止咳
咳嗽最愛找的對象就是老人和小孩，尤其只要天氣一冷。
以下提供一種按摩療法，久咳時，就在手指上「捏」一下吧。
可在小兒手上的食指與中指之間不到五分處，有一個點叫「止咳點」，腳穴可參照手穴取，按揉這個點三分鐘，可以產生很好的鎮咳作用。
四、小孩的鼻塞、咳嗽
沒有藥物可以加速感冒的復原，或是縮短時間。感冒成藥，像是含抗組織胺和抗鼻塞的藥物，通常對減輕學齡前的小孩的感冒症狀沒效，而且可能會有副作用。抗生素也無法對抗病毒感染的感冒。父母可以做的是，儘量讓小孩感到舒服，鼓勵他們休息。
不過，要特別注意以下幾件事：
- 讓免疫系統發揮作戰力：如果小孩發燒但是溫度不高，不要立刻給退燒藥。
梅約醫學中心指出，藉著升高溫度，小孩身體正在製造一種不利病毒生存的環境。不過，如果高燒引起脫水或抽搐，必須立刻就醫。
- 16歲以下的小孩病毒感染時，例如感冒，千萬不要給阿斯匹靈。
美國國家衛生研究院指出，阿斯匹靈用在小孩病毒感染，會引起雷氏症候群──雖然罕見，但是會致命的疾病，通常發生在3～12歲小孩。 - 一般來說小孩感冒會比大人來得嚴重，而且比較容易有併發症，例如耳朵感染。 美國梅約醫學中心建議，如果小孩有以下症狀，應該就醫：發燒超過40度、畏寒、發燒超過72小時、嘔吐、肚子痛、不尋常的嗜睡、頭痛、呼吸困難、持續哭、耳朵痛。
- 若長期久咳，則應尋找專業醫師作確切診療。尤其持續咳嗽超過2～3週以上，或伴隨發燒、呼吸急促，或咳血痰，就需要就醫。
五、一帖咳嗽食療小偏方–苦茶油炒飯
劇烈或持續咳嗽也會刺激肺部。反覆咳嗽也會使支氣管狹窄，刺激呼吸道內壁。
中醫師廖千慧表示，咳嗽的中醫病變機轉，主要病變在肺臟，且與肝脾腎也相關，其特點為邪氣犯肺，肺失宣肅，故肺氣上逆而作咳。
久咳不癒的原因可簡單分成風寒、痰濕、陰虛、燥熱。
根據《本草綱目》記載：「茶籽主治喘急咳嗽、去痰垢。」於是有人鼓勵吃苦茶油治喘急咳嗽、去痰、潤喉。
中醫師推荐一道「苦茶油炒飯」料理，可針對抵抗力較弱引起咳嗽不癒的人食用。
【苦茶油炒飯】：
材料：
白米兩杯、甜杏仁10g、甘草8片、苦茶油、大蒜、蔥花、豬肉絲100g(退冰)、雞蛋兩顆(先打在碗裡)、食鹽少許。
作法：
1、前一天先將白米洗掏乾淨後，加入甜杏仁及甘草片，放入電鍋煮成白米飯，放冰箱冷藏備用。
2、炒鍋中放入苦茶油、大蒜，以小火慢煸。
3、待大蒜香氣開始出現，倒入蛋汁，將蛋汁翻炒到凝固後，再加入豬肉絲一起翻炒。
4、當豬肉絲炒到九分熟，加入前一天煮好的白米飯。將白米飯與鍋內所有配料翻炒均勻之後，再加入蔥花、食鹽適量，攪拌均勻即可關火。
適用對象：身體虛弱或勞累過度，以致抵抗力變差，著涼或感冒之後就久咳不癒，喉嚨發癢咳嗽但是不痛，無痰或少痰者。
效果：白米補中益氣；甜杏仁止咳平喘、潤腸通便；甘草補脾益氣、潤肺止咳；苦茶油潤肺降逆止咳，蔥花及大蒜可以辛溫散寒。
除了上面說的那個「苦茶油炒飯」料理，家長還可以在家為孩子做一些治療咳嗽的食療湯，中醫認為感冒咳嗽多由風寒之邪侵襲，內鬱肺氣，肺衛失宣而引起。所以選用食物可以選一些宣肺散寒的食物，像蘿蔔、香菜、薑棗…等。
六、香蕉燉冰糖偏方可治常年咳
香蕉燉冰糖能治常年咳？我半信半疑。
但嘗試著試服，沒料到，一個禮拜以後，咳嗽盡除。特將療法予以披露：
購香蕉二或三條、冰糖一至二兩 。
先將香蕉切成一寸大小的小塊（去皮），再將冰糖搗碎，然後置於碗中，加入半碗水，之後放入鍋中，隔水燉煮約十分鐘，待冰糖溶化並冷卻後食用。此時的香蕉雖然又爛又澀，很難下嚥，但卻能對咳嗽發揮奇效。
此種療法，每晚一次，一周即可見效。

Great post made here. One thing I would like to say is the fact most professional fields consider the Bachelor Degree like thejust like the entry level standard for an online college degree. When Associate Certifications are a great way to get started, completing your Bachelors presents you with many doors to various jobs, there are numerous online Bachelor Course Programs available coming from institutions like The University of Phoenix, Intercontinental University Online and Kaplan. Another issue is that many brick and mortar institutions make available Online types of their qualifications but commonly for a substantially higher price than the providers that specialize in online college diploma programs.

Thanks for the ideas you have contributed here. Something important I would like to mention is that personal computer memory demands generally go up along with other developments in the know-how. For instance, whenever new generations of processor chips are introduced to the market, there is certainly usually a similar increase in the size demands of both the laptop or computer memory as well as hard drive room. This is because software program operated through these processors will inevitably rise in power to benefit from the new technological know-how.
I was curious if you ever thought of changing the layout of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 images. Maybe you could space it out better?

One thing I’ve noticed is there are plenty of beliefs regarding the banking companies intentions when talking about property foreclosures. One myth in particular is the bank prefers to have your house. The financial institution wants your hard earned cash, not your house. They want the cash they loaned you with interest. Avoiding the bank will simply draw the foreclosed realization. Thanks for your write-up.
