Cough especially at night

Coughing occurs when the body attempts to expel fluids or allergens from the environment, such as dust, smoke, pollen, animal hair, etc. Coughs can be caused by sinus infections, colds, and so on, but if the cough lasts for a long time and appears primarily at night because the airways are limited, the patient should be concerned since it could be an indication of asthma. About 60% of people have asthma and symptoms are worse at night. About 70% of people have a cough or difficulty breathing or wheezing at least one night a week.

Asthma is extremely harmful, and fast development can be fatal. When a person has an asthma attack, they are unable to breathe in enough oxygen to the body. If an asthma reliever or immediate emergency assistance is not available, this will result in respiratory failure, coma, loss of consciousness, and even death. As a response, if you experience symptoms of a protracted cough, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible.
