Cope with the Cough

See this image below, cute ain't it?

But unfortunately this innocent cute little thing is a figure of cough virus. Actually cough itself isn't always caused by virus. There are several causes, which are infectious causes and noninfectious causes.

Infectious causes include viral upper respiratory infections, sinus infections, pneumonia and whooping cough. Noninfectious causes include flare-ups of the following: chronic bronchitis, emphysema, asthma, and environmental allergies.

Therefore, cough could be classified into 2 categories, acute which present for less than 3 weeks and chronic which present for more than 3 weeks.


As i reckon my own cough, it started two weeks ago, so i can say now that it's an acute cough. I had take meds and my cough was better last week, but this week it is getting worse. I went to doctor yesterday, and she gave me some pills, hope those pills would kill the virus immediately.

I already avoid fries,ice and anything cold, and also drink honey every morning as well. Cause I need to get better soon. This Friday i'll travel to Karimun Jawa. Need lotta energy before backpacking, rite?
*pray to God for my health ^_^*
