Cough

Cough is a small troubled illness. If not handle well, it can turn into big trouble, especially to the old man who may suffer death consequence if adequate care is not taken.
Cough originates from cold which always comes before cough. Cold always falls upon those whose body resistance is weak.
For young persons, cold is a too mild thing to them. Today they catch cold and tomorrow is well again, not necessary to eat medicine or to see doctor due to their strong foundation in body structure.
But, to old people, cold is an illness which should not be neglected. It may turn to be a further illness of cough which may be recovered in a period of few weeks or may turn to be a lung sickness. Once the cold turns to cough and then to lung, it is a disaster to old people, and few of them will die on lung sickness.
When you catch cold, it is better to eat more food which will help you greatly to get recovery quickly. A Western proverb said: “Feed cold, empty fever.” That means when you have cold you must eat more, but in fever, you must not eat anything. This is a simple knowledge, we should always bear in our mind.
