yes -- grapes have sulfites them selves and they use sulfites in the drying process so all dried fruits have sulfites !!! unless there is some new health food type or brand that i don't know about ??? 1. The content of sulfites in raisins depends on the type. Not all raisins contain sulfites. 2. The drying process involve sometimes sulfur dioxide. 3. Wines contain sulfites but in not dangerous concentrations.
A cough can be the result of a respiratory tract infection such as the common cold, acute bronchitis, pneumonia, pertussis, or tuberculosis. In the vast majority of cases, acute coughs, i.e. coughs shorter than 3 weeks, are due to the common cold. In people with a normal chest X-ray, tuberculosis is a rare finding. Pertussis is increasingly being recognised as a cause of troublesome coughing in adults. After a respiratory tract infection has cleared, the person may be left with a postinfectious cough. This typically is a dry, non-productive cough that produces no phlegm. Symptoms may include a tightness in the chest, and a tickle in the throat. This cough may often persist for weeks after an illness. The cause of the cough may be inflammation similar to that observed in repetitive stress disorders such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
âEven a little cough can be debilitating,â says Mark Yoder, MD, assistant professor of pulmonary and critical care medicine at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. Cold and flu season brings on hacking coughs that can leave your chest muscles aching. But colds and flu arenât the only problems that cause coughing. Allergies, asthma, acid reflux, dry air, and smoking are common causes of coughs. Even medications such as certain drugs for high blood pressure and allergies can cause chronic cough.
