Coughing is a natural defense mechanism. However, if it lasts longer than 7 days or worsens, especially with phlegm or blood, medical attention is needed.

In Uzbekistan, a persistent cough may indicate:

• Pneumonia – high fever, chest pain, difficulty breathing
• Tuberculosis (TB) – chronic dry cough, weight loss, night sweats
• Bronchitis – wet cough, discomfort in the chest
• Allergic asthma – nighttime cough and shortness of breath
• Post-COVID complications – long-lasting cough after recovery

See a doctor if you notice:

• Cough lasting more than a week
• Shortness of breath
• Blood or discoloration in phlegm
• Fatigue, poor appetite
• Chest pain or pressure

Diagnosis & Treatment:

• Chest X-ray or CT scan
• Blood and sputum tests
• Consultations with ENT, therapist, and TB specialist
• Personalized treatment plan with proper medication

Conclusion

Cough should not be ignored. Early diagnosis could prevent serious outcomes.
