Coughing can relieve or exacerbate symptoms in asthmatic patients.

Abstract:

:From about 1190 to the present day opposing views have been expressed about the effects of coughing in patients with asthma. Some accounts have stated that it brought relief and others that it exacerbated asthma, whereas others thought that it could have both effects. In the present investigation, 187 patients with a clinical diagnosis of asthma were asked whether coughing relieved or exacerbated their asthma. In 41.7% coughing caused exacerbation, in 29.9% it brought relief, in 9.9% it had no effect, and in the remaining 18.7% it sometimes exacerbated their symptoms and sometimes brought relief. When asthma was exacerbated, the most common symptom induced was breathlessness, and then wheezing; chest tightness was the least frequent. When coughing brought relief it was mainly through the expectoration of sputum. However, a small proportion of patients found relief even if there was no expectoration. If coughing exacerbates asthma and persists in the face of treatment with standard medication, then treatment specifically directed at its diminution could reduce morbity considerably.
