Abstract

This article introduces cough and expectoration related diseases. Cough is not only a protective reflex action, but also one of the most common symptoms of respiratory diseases. Expectoration refers to the action of expelling secretions in the respiratory tract from the mouth by means of ciliary movement of bronchial mucosal epithelial cells, contraction of bronchial muscles and the impulse of cough [66]. It is difficult and important to use cough, expectoration and related symptoms to quickly and accurately identify the cause of disease. According to the teacher’s explanation and comments on the actual cases in the undergraduate clinical practice class, and the author’s reading of the literature after the class, this article was finally formed, hoping to have a better understanding of the future study of respiratory medicine related diseases, especially those with cough and expectoration related symptoms.

 
Keywords
