What causes cough while asthma?My mother has been having diffculty with breathing for the last few weeks. She has asthma and has been coughing non-stop. We thought it was just her asthma acting up but after rounds of steroids and treatments she is still coughing. She does okay when lying down but as soon as she stands she starts to cough again. She had x-rays and nothing showed up but then a ct scanned showed something. They went in today and found a jelly like substance and washed her lungs out. What could cause this? The dr's have not told her anything yet but will discuss it with her tomorrow. I just was wondering if anyone has heard of this before as I have not. HI, thanks for using healthcare  magicThere are different possible causes for persistent coughing. The most common causes are: asthma, post nasal drip and GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease).The xrays or CT scan would have ruled out any significant changes to the lungs.Post nasal drip (which may not be detected in some) is the most common of the causes mentioned above.She may want to consider the use of topical steroid nasal sprays and oral antihistamines to see if these provide her with any relief.I hope this helps
Cosa causa la tosse mentre l'asma? Mia madre ha avuto difficoltà respirando per le ultime settimane.Ha l'asma e ha tossito ininterrottamente.Abbiamo pensato che fosse solo il suo asma che si comportava, ma dopo round di steroidi e trattamenti sta ancora tossendo.Fa bene quando si sdraia, ma non appena si alza, inizia a tossire di nuovo.Aveva raggi X e non si è presentata nulla, ma poi una scansione CT ha mostrato qualcosa.Sono entrati oggi e hanno trovato una gelatina come la sostanza e si sono lavati i polmoni.Cosa potrebbe causare questo?I DR non le hanno ancora detto nulla, ma domani ne discuterà con lei.Mi chiedevo solo se qualcuno ne avesse sentito parlare prima come non lo ho fatto. Ciao, grazie per aver usato la magia sanitaria, ci sono diverse possibili cause per la tosse persistente.Le cause più comuni sono: asma, gocciolamento post nasale e GERD (malattia del reflusso gastroesofageo). I raggi X o la TAC avrebbero escluso eventuali modifiche significative ai polmoni.Comune delle cause sopra menzionate. Potrebbe voler considerare l'uso di spray nasali steroide
