but discomforting coughing can also lead to exhaustion of physical strength.
Taking measures for prevention on a daily basis is crucial.
Before your cough gets worse
Prevention is the key.
Gargling
Viruses and bacteria taken in from the air may adhere to the mucosa of the throat. Make it a habit to gargle to prevent viruses and bacteria from entering your body.
Handwashing
Hands that come in contact with anything can carry viruses and bacteria. Wash your hands frequently with soap and hot water. Always keep your hands clean.
Regular hydration
The throat has the function of eliminating foreign substances such as viruses and bacteria. When your throat becomes dry, this function deteriorates. Hydrate yourself frequently and keep your throat moist.
“I want to cough...” In such circumstances,
follow coughing etiquette.
Wear a mask.
(Cover your mouth and nose.)
Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or handkerchief.
Cover your mouth and nose with your sleeve.
