Why do you cough more at night when you lie down than during the day?

Why do you cough more at night when you lie down than during the day?

Why is there no coughing during the day and a very strong uninterrupted cough at night when I lie down? There are many reasons for coughing, such as common cold, flu, pneumonia, asthma, etc.

If it is a case of not coughing during the day but having a more pronounced cough at night, there may be several reasons.

Cause 1: Variant asthma:

Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease characterized by coughing, chest tightness and shortness of breath, especially at night or in the early hours of the morning. There is another classification of asthma called variant asthma, which is more in line with the question. This type of asthma is more in line with the question asked by the questioner. Variant asthma is more specific, usually only coughing is the only manifestation of asthma, there is no chest tightness, shortness of breath and other symptoms.

Also, variant asthma has no sputum, only a dry cough, which can be severe and unexplained, especially at night. This kind of asthma is good to meet the irritating things when the attack, such as inhaling cold air, fumes, dust and so on. Asthma is generally difficult to treat, but it can be controlled with proper treatment and prevention, such as keeping the air in the indoor environment clean, ventilating often, keeping away from smoke, and paying attention to keeping warm, especially in winter.

Cause 2: Inflammation:

In fact, the reason why people cough because the cough itself is a self-protection reaction, the purpose of coughing is to enter the body of foreign matter, or harmful substances out of the body, for example, inhaled dust, hair and other foreign matter body will cough through the cough to cough it out.

Similarly, if we are infected by bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma, chlamydia and other microorganisms that cause inflammation, the body will cough to expel the disease-causing microorganisms as well as substances produced by the inflammation (e.g., phlegm) from the body.

Why do some people with inflammation barely cough during the day but only at night?

The possible reason is that during the day, people are in an active state, the brain's attention is diverted by the surrounding things, talking, work, etc., and the attention to the cough is reduced, so that the cough feels less. At night, the body is in a state of relaxation, but more sensitive to coughing, coupled with the night temperature is lower, more likely to trigger coughing.

Lastly, if you have an unexplained nocturnal cough, it is best to consult with a regular hospital in time to find the real cause of the disease in order to target treatment. If it is variant asthma, you can use some glucocorticoid drugs, anti-leukotriene drugs or bronchodilators. If it is inflammation, the poorer people are difficult to self-cure, then you need to go to the hospital for examination, to determine the specific infection germs and then targeted medication, in order to effectively control the inflammation triggered by coughing. If the night cough is particularly violent and affects sleep, you can also use some cough medicine. Specifically need to go to the regular hospital consultation, do not blindly use drugs.

Purely hand-typed, it is not easy, if you feel that the writing can also be rewarded a praise, point a concern, if you have any questions can be left below ......

There are many causes of coughing



The most common is an upper respiratory tract infection, which usually starts acutely, preceded by symptoms such as nasal congestion or fever with sore throat, followed by a cough, sometimes with sputum. The course of the illness is usually short, with marked improvement within a week or so after oral medication. However, sometimes it causes airway hyperresponsiveness, which can last for weeks with a dry cough. This airway hyperresponsive cough, which is predominantly at night, is aggravated by the irritating odor of oil and smoke, and is stimulated by talking.

It is important to note that if you have a cough for one to two weeks in a row, usually with no relief from oral medications, you should always have a chest CT to see if there are any lesions in the lungs. Because pneumonia, tuberculosis, pleural effusion can cause cough, such as pleural effusion cough is at night when lying down aggravated.

Some people may ask if the chest CT is performed and there is no problem with the lungs, why do I cough for a month or two? This is a chronic cough, and the main reasons for it are categorized as follows:

1. Upper airway cough syndrome/postnasal drip syndrome, rhinitis pharyngitis and other diseases cause secretions to flow back to the postnasal and pharyngeal areas, directly or indirectly stimulate the cough receptors, resulting in a cough as the main manifestation of the syndrome is known as the postnasal drip syndrome. 2006 U.S. guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of cough recommended that the upper airway cough syndrome instead of the postnasal drip syndrome. It is also often associated with disorders of the pharynx, such as allergic or non-allergic pharyngitis, laryngitis, pharyngeal neoplasm, and chronic tonsillitis. It is characterized by episodic or persistent coughing, predominantly daytime coughing, and less coughing after sleep. In recent years, with climate change, atmospheric pollution has increased, and patients have stacked into cold and flu medicines and abused antibiotics, which has led to an increasing incidence of this disease.

2. Gastroesophageal reflux cough: Cough caused by reflux of stomach acid and other stomach contents into the esophagus. Typical reflux symptoms are heartburn (burning sensation behind the sternum), acid reflux and belching. Some of the coughs caused by GERD are accompanied by typical reflux symptoms, but a number of patients have cough as the only manifestation. It is followed by pharyngeal ball sensation and pharyngeal foreign body sensation and hoarseness. The cough is mostly irritating and dry, and can also be characterized as a cough with sputum, and the vast majority of them cough during the day.

3. Cough caused by "asthma" - cough variant asthma: If the cough is more than 2 months, the possibility of variant asthma should be considered. It is a special type of asthma in which coughing is the only or main clinical manifestation, with no obvious wheezing, shortness of breath and other symptoms or signs, but with airway hyperresponsiveness.

4. Cough caused by chronic bronchitis: most of them are old people, with a history of smoking in the past, having attacks in winter and spring every year, lasting two or three months each time, and sometimes there are typical slow branch changes in chest CT.

Coughs are very common in our real life, and in the fall and winter, flu and colds are rampant. Hospitals are full of people with coughs. However, if we just from the cough this single symptom, and can not determine what exactly is the cause of, to know the answer must improve the relevant examination.

Strangely enough, most people have a bad cough at night and not so much during the day. Indeed, coughing at night really makes people sleep through the night and suffer a lot. Why is this the case? Next, I will take this Q&A to talk to you in detail.

What causes a nighttime cough to become severe?

1. Colds and flu take up the top causes of coughs. When we get colds and flu, it causes our body to produce too much mucus. Until the evening, when we lie down to sleep, the mucus drips down to the back of our throats, irritating our throats and causing us to have a strong cough reflex. Most colds and flu-induced coughs can be both wet and dry at night. Even if we don't use any treatment, it tends to get better within a week more often than not.

2. Asthma is a disease that causes the airways to swell and narrow, making it difficult to breathe. Chronic coughing is its most common symptom, which is especially worse at night and early in the morning. In addition, asthma is accompanied by wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, difficulty breathing and other problems.

3. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic acid reflux disease. When stomach acid enters the esophagus, it irritates the esophagus and triggers the cough reflex. When we stand up, acid reflux is relatively difficult; when we lie in bed, acid reflux is relatively easy, so our nighttime cough becomes severe. Along with coughing, we may feel acid reflux in our chest, heartburn, or even a sensation of something in our throat.

4. Postnasal drip syndrome is one of the common ENT disorders secondary to certain nasal diseases. Postnasal drip occurs when mucus drips from the nasal passage down into the throat. When we lie down and our body produces more mucus than normal, a violent nighttime cough occurs. In addition, we can experience other conditions such as a sore throat, runny nose, and more.

5, of course, in addition to some common disease factors, there are many, many reasons to make us cough at night. For example, environmental irritants and ACE inhibitors are all leading causes.

Most coughs can be treated with home remedies and over-the-counter medications

Cough is not a disease, it is a self-protective function of our body. Most of the time, home remedies and over-the-counter medications can be used if the cough is not severe. The following are some examples:

  • lozenge: Lozenges are cooling and soothing. Having a lozenge in our mouths before going to bed can help lubricate our throats and prevent nighttime irritation. However, we should never use them for too long while lying down, as this can trigger a choking hazard.
  • humidifier: Humidifiers add moisture to the air. Saliva production decreases during sleep, which means our throats are drier than usual. When the throat is dry, it is more sensitive to irritants in the air, which can trigger a cough. Activating a humidifier while you sleep will help keep your throat moist, which should protect it from irritation and have a chance of healing.
  • breaksIf a cough prevents us from getting a good night's sleep, it is advisable to use a couple of pillows to support our backs so that our bodies are at a 45-degree angle, so that the force of gravity expels the mucus from the nasal passages and out of the throat.
  • Avoid irritants: Irritants such as dust, pet hair and pollen can circulate through the house throughout the night. If anyone in the house smokes or uses a wood-burning fire for heating, it is recommended that they should stay away.
  • Drink more water.: Hydration is more important to the healing process than most people realize. Staying hydrated helps keep your throat moist, which is key to protecting it from irritation.

What can be done to treat nighttime coughs caused by common illnesses?

1. If we suffer from gastroesophageal reflux, we first use medicines to treat the disease, such as omeprazole, famotidine and so on. In terms of life, one should strictly avoid strong tea, coffee, cola, chocolate and so on. At the same time, drugs such as nitroglycerin, anticholinergic drugs, theophylline and calcium channel blockers should be avoided.

2. There are two types of over-the-counter cough medicines: cough suppressants and expectorants. Cough suppressants (cough suppressants) prevent coughing by blocking the cough reflex. Expectorants work by thinning the mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough. Cough suppressants are better for nighttime coughs because they prevent the cough reflex that is triggered while we sleep.

3. If asthma is present, the patient must receive long-term treatment to promote asthma in a state of clinical control. If the cough persists for more than two months or worsens over time, such as shortness of breath, fever, hemoptysis and other symptoms, you must go to the hospital.

To conclude, a nighttime cough can keep us up at night, but it may not mean any serious symptoms. Most nighttime coughs are persistent symptoms of colds and flu, but there may be other disease factors. And it's up to us to undergo the relevant tests in the hospital to determine this more accurately.

(Answer: Dr. Jia, Institute of Infectious Diseases, Tianjin Medical University)


With the arrival of the fall and winter seasons, patients with respiratory complaints are becoming more common. Many of these patients express the wonder, "Why I don't cough much during the day when I'm working and moving around, and then cough a lot when I lie down to sleep at night?" So here's what we need to know about the common causes of nighttime coughing.


Cough aggravated by positional changes after lying down at night, firstly, due to the increase in the volume of blood returning to the heart after lying down, the pressure of the pulmonary artery increases, so that the burden on the heart increases. Secondly, due to lying down when the thoracic movement and diaphragm state is not good to exert force to cough reflex action, so that the cough sputum action strength is limited, but increase the number of coughing. Thirdly, after lying down, sputum, secretion and other foreign materials are easy to flow back into the throat, stimulating the cough. Among them, such as the patient itself exists due to long-term chronic heart failure caused by pulmonary edema, pulmonary heart disease, position change for coughing sputum will be quite obvious, serious cases will also appear respiratory problems, chest tightness and breathlessness symptoms. Such patients are recommended to take a sitting or semi-recumbent position with legs hanging down in order to alleviate the symptoms of breathlessness.

Common Causes of Postural Coughs


1, the patient himself has cardiopulmonary system underlying disease. For example: chronic cardiac insufficiency (chronic heart failure, cardiomyopathy, etc.), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, old and slow gas. Such patients in addition to cough symptoms, often accompanied by chest tightness, asthma, cough foam sputum. Once the symptoms worsen, by changing the position of the situation is not relieved, be sure not to move the patient, but call the ambulance as soon as possible to seek medical attention.


2, chronic pharyngitis, bronchitis. Such patients lying down often due to phlegm reflux stimulation and aggravate cough. Especially those who have the habit of mouth breathing, sleep for a long time to make the airway mucosa dry, stimulated by cold air, will also aggravate sensitivity.



3, rhinitis, sinusitis, polyps, chronic tonsillitis. Such patients are common because of lying down, snot, secretions, pus will flow back into the throat, stimulate the trachea to cough, in the position of the moment of change in the performance is particularly obvious.


4. Gastroesophageal reflux disease. This kind of patients due to the upward reflux of digestive fluids to stimulate the airway caused. Such patients often fall asleep a few hours after the sudden cough, dry cough, choking, can be accompanied by burning sensation in the throat, chest pain, nausea and other symptoms, may also be indigestion, flatulence and other digestive problems.


5. Sleep apnea syndrome. Such patients are commonly awakened from sleep with a sudden cough, accompanied by insomnia, light sleep, dreaminess, snoring, respiratory arrest and other symptoms.

In summary, although cough is known to be a protective stress response of the human body to expel foreign bodies, but if the cough aggravates the impact of life, and pathological cough, and actively investigate the specific causes of the disease treatment, in order to solve the problem from the root, to achieve symptomatic treatment.

When you don't cough much during the day and then cough a lot at night, there are usually several possibilities:

I. Cough variant asthma

This is one of the most common causes of nocturnal cough, which is an allergic disease, often with a family history of allergy or a history of allergic diseases, but the exact cause of the disease is not clear, and it is related to the environment, genetics or autoimmunity. The main manifestation is a long-term irritating cough, especially when induced by cold air, pollen, respiratory tract infections, etc. The cough is obvious at night or early in the morning. General phlegm and cough medicine, or antibiotic medicine treatment is not effective, can do a bronchial excitation test to help diagnosis.

For treatment, you can use bronchodilators such as albuterol and terbutaline, or anti-allergy drugs such as paracetamol and loratadine tablets, or hormone therapy.

Prevention of this disease is mainly to pay attention to keep warm, avoid cold air stimulation, especially in the spring and fall, or the alternation of seasons; avoid inhalation of pollen, dust, etc., as far as possible to avoid contact with allergens.

II. Cardiac insufficiency

Cardiac insufficiency, also known as heart failure, is characterized by stagnation of blood in the circulation or lungs, leading to dyspnea as soon as one lies down, sedentary respiration, coughing (coughing at night), often accompanied by coughing up sputum, hemoptysis, nocturnal enuresis, fatigue and weakness, lower limb edema, urinary output, nausea and vomiting, and other symptoms.

Treatment is generally diuretic as well as symptomatic treatment, if there is a valve problem, the valve should be repaired; if it is caused by high blood pressure, it should be antihypertensive treatment, in short, for the cause of the treatment. Normally, we should pay attention to monitoring blood pressure, heart rate, eat a light diet, pay attention to keep warm, avoid wind and cold, upper respiratory tract infection.

III. Gastroesophageal reflux

This is a relatively common cause of nighttime coughing, which refers to the reflux of excessive gastric and duodenal contents into the esophagus causing symptoms such as heartburn and can lead to esophagitis and damage to tissues outside of the esophagus such as the pharynx, larynx, and airway, and is often accompanied by heartburn, acid reflux, dysphagia, or retrosternal pain. At night when sleeping in a flat position, coughing is often caused by gastric reflux and aspiration into the bronchial tubes.

You can make one.Endoscopy, which is the most accurate way to diagnose reflux esophagitis, and can also determine the severity of the condition and the presence of complications.

For treatment, it is usually drugs that inhibit gastric acid and promote gastrointestinal dynamics, such as cimetidine, omeprazole, cisapride, etc. If the drug treatment is ineffective, anti-reflux surgical treatment can be chosen. Usually, we should pay attention to the eating immediately after bed rest, easy to aggravate gastroesophageal reflux, sleep at night, appropriate head of the bed to avoid gastric reflux.

So when you notice that you are prone to nighttime coughing, and it occurs frequently, you should visit the hospital for a comprehensive evaluation based on signs or symptoms, and check for lung x-rays, esophageal endoscopy, or bronchial provocation tests in order to target treatment.

Cough is one of the most common symptoms, many people have had the experience of coughing, but many times during the day do not cough, a night to sleep when lying down on the cough, can not sleep, especially torturous! What's going on here? Why don't you cough during the day and then cough at night? Next, Dr. Wu will talk to you about this issue.

In fact, our airway is governed by the vegetative nerve, when we sleep at night the vagus nerve will be in an excited state, this vagus nerve excitement will cause airway smooth muscle spasm contraction, so the cough will be worse than during the day! This is why coughing is generally worse at night than during the day.

In addition ah, cough is not as simple as we think, the people think cough with cough medicine on the line, in fact, we all think of the cough is too simple, cough medicine can only symptomatic, if you do not find the cause of the disease, taking more cough medicine is redundant. So, what are the reasons for coughing at night?

1. Heart failure:

Heart failure will often appear at night cough, chest tightness, shortness of breath, the patient often need to sit up to relieve the symptoms, which on the one hand, with the vagus nerve excitation at night airway constriction, on the other hand, with the night lying down with an increase in the volume of return blood, pulmonary stasis aggravated as well as lying down when the diaphragm uplifted, the thoracic cavity volume decreases, the lungs are compressed. Therefore, if a patient with a history of heart disease develops a nocturnal cough, it is important to be alert to the possibility of a heart failure attack!

2. Infection

Common cold, influenza, bronchitis, pneumonia, mycoplasma infection and other viral and bacterial-induced infections are the most important causes of cough, treatment of this aspect of the cough cough symptomatic is one aspect, if it is a bacterial infection, but also need to use sensitive antibiotics anti-infective treatment.

3. Cough after infection

Post-infectious cough, also known as "post-cold cough", many people after a cold cough is still prolonged, mainly dry cough, usually lasts 3 to 8 weeks, chest X-ray examination is not abnormal. The treatment of this type of cough is mainly symptomatic and does not require anti-infective treatment.

4. Cough variant asthma

Cough variant asthma is a special type of asthma, unlike typical asthma, cough variant asthma has no obvious symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, rales, etc. It mainly takes cough as the only or main clinical manifestation, with dry cough predominantly, which is obvious at night and in the early hours of the morning, and it is easily triggered or exacerbated by colds, cold air, dust, and oil smoke. Diagnosis and treatment of cough variant asthma would have to be the same as the principles of asthma treatment.

5. Coughs caused by other diseases

For example, nasopharyngeal diseases (postnasal drip syndrome, chronic pharyngitis, chronic laryngitis, chronic tonsillitis, etc.), digestive diseases (gastroesophageal reflux cough), drugs (aspirin, ACEI drugs, etc.) can also cause coughing, and in order to cure it, you also need to go to a specialist to make a clear diagnosis, and then carry out targeted treatment.

To summarize:

Cough is not as simple as we think, there are many causes of coughing, ordinary people are really difficult to identify, if the cough is repeated and prolonged, must go to the hospital in time, in order to figure out what the cause of the disease, so that the treatment of cough in order to achieve the best results.

There are many reasons for coughing, but the main reasons for not coughing during the day and lying down at night with a very strong uninterrupted cough are these.

intravenous drip infusion: "The man who is not allowed to lie down and the one who lies down and gasps is the guest of the water qi." This means that the lungs are not able to promote and purge for a long period of time, and the fluid is not dispersed, and the fluid stops gathering in the chest and lungs to form the watery drink, which obstructs the lungs and leads to coughing and wheezing. Mainly by the position of the greater influence, because lying down when the water drink upward pressure, will cough and asthma, dyspnea.

internal heat in the lungs (TCM):: Because at night this belongs to the yin, should be nourished yin astringent time, and the lungs of the real heat or false heat within the disturbance, the evil yang is too heavy, the yang can not enter the yin to suppress, can not be peaceful, manifested in the night to fall asleep and lie down coughing frequently, aggravation of the situation.

foreign aggressors attack the guards (TCM): Feeling the wind-cold, or wind-heat evil, there are symptoms of nasal congestion, runny nose, and snot, but also because of the position, lying down easy to backflow of snot caused by coughing, coupled with rhinitis, it is also easy to cause lying down cough aggravation.

My husband is like that, he doesn't cough during the day, but at night when he lies down he coughs so hard he can't breathe, and it's one of those hollow coughs, with a little bit of phlegm now and then.

He has allergic rhinitis and often uses nasal sprays, but it only happens twice a year during the spring and fall seasons, for a month or so at a time, and after that time he's fine, just like a normal person.

A few years down the road we found the law, so in the change of season close protection, do not get cold wearing clothes with a hat to protect the top of the head of the Baihui point, put on a thicker mask to prevent the nose from being cold to stimulate the nasal mucous membrane, to avoid pollen and willow flakes fly into the nostrils. This year there is a good effect, only coughed two or three times and quickly. In previous years, it was so serious that I went around looking for medicine and did almost all the tests on lung cough without finding out anything.

I'm not a professional such as a doctor, so I'm just relating our experience in hopes that it will help.

Why is there no cough during the day and a very bad uninterrupted cough at night when I lie down?
There is no cough during the day, but a strong uninterrupted cough at night when lying down, a typical one-quiet cough, and this cough is spasmodic.
Causing a spasmodic cough can occur in acute respiratory infections, acute bronchitis, acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, acute pneumonia, narrowing of the airways, foreign bodies in the airways, hyperplasia or tumors of the respiratory tract tissues, tumors in the lungs compressing the airways, etc.
Not coughing during the day and coughing very hard and uninterruptedly at night when lying down, this belongs to postural spasmodic cough. The causes of postural spasmodic cough are narrowing of the airways, foreign bodies in the airways, hyperplasia or tumors of the airway tissues, and tumors in the lungs compressing the airways.
examination, routine blood tests, and a CT scan of the lungs.
If the inflammation caused by the narrowing of the airway, can be anti-infective treatment and anti-inflammatory treatment and dilation of bronchial treatment. Spasmodic cough can also be treated with Chinese medicine. Spasmodic cough is caused by liver and fire in the lungs, so the treatment should be clearing the lungs and calming the liver, smoothing the qi and lowering the fire. If there is no inflammation causing respiratory stenosis, it is mostly due to the excessive accumulation of harmful substances caused by long-term smoking, so stop smoking and dilate the bronchial tubes at the same time.
If the spasmodic cough is caused by a foreign body in the airway, the foreign body can be removed bronchoscopically.
If the spasmodic cough is caused by hyperplasia of the respiratory tissue, it can be treated surgically if available, or by bronchodilation if not.
If the spasmodic cough is caused by a respiratory tumor compressing the airways, it can be treated with surgery or chemotherapy, and bronchial dilatation can be used to treat it before surgery and chemotherapy.
If the spasmodic cough is caused by a lung tumor compressing the airways, it can be treated with surgery or chemotherapy, and the bronchial tubes can be dilated and treated before surgery and chemotherapy.
The absence of dyspnea in the title does not support spasmodic cough due to bronchial asthma and does not support spasmodic cough due to cardiac causes.

Cough is a relatively common condition in our real life and almost everyone has experienced it. Frequent coughing people will find that there is such a problem exists, that is, they appear in the daytime coughing few times or even no cough, and at night will be frequent, violent coughing, seriously affecting our normal sleep and breathing.

Causes of nighttime coughing

Different causes of coughs are aggravated at night.

First, if the chronic cardiac insufficiency patients, may be due to sleep at night to take the lying position, aggravated by the lungs stagnation and caused by coughing, halfway to sleep suddenly tightness in the chest, gasping for breath, coughing more than a sputum with blood, etc., it is likely to be heart disease caused by coughing, it is best to go to the hospital as soon as possible to seek medical attention.

Secondly, if you are suffering from a disease such as chronic bronchitis, you may be coughing violently because of the aggravation of phlegm irritation at night when you lie down in bed.

Third, if because of chronic pharyngitis, breathing with the mouth open while sleeping, the throat and mucous membranes of the respiratory tract are stimulated by cold air for a long time triggering airway spasm and cough.

Fourth, the reason for the indoor temperature, summer days are hot, winter days are cold, many people also sleep at night with the air conditioner on, and the temperature difference between night and day is large, which will lead to coughing.

Fifth, the disease causes night cough, such as allergic cough. Allergic cough persistent or recurrent episodes of severe cough, mostly paroxysmal episodes, more pronounced in the morning, the night cough than the daytime serious cough, cough for a long time, usually lasts for three months, to pollen season is more.

Sixth, coughing starts within half an hour of going to bed and is relieved after sitting up. This kind of cough is mostly caused by the backward flow of nasal mucus that irritates the throat, and may be caused by upper respiratory tract infections, such as allergic or non-allergic rhinitis, and acute and chronic sinusitis.

Seventh, coughing at 4:00 or 5:00 a.m. If this is long-term, it may be an asthma attack that requires prompt medical attention and identification of allergens, or if it is short-term, it may be bronchitis.

Eighth, about 1 to 2 hours after going to sleep, suddenly coughing violently and sharply, accompanied by chest tightness, flatulence, dry mouth and bitter mouth, hoarse voice, heartburn and other symptoms, it is likely to be gastroesophageal reflux due to cough.

Ninth, if you suddenly cough during sleep, like a choking sensation, and have shallow sleep and nightmares, you may be suffering from upper airway obstruction syndrome, which is related to sleep apnea syndrome, and can be diagnosed at a sleep specialist.

In summary, the cough intensifies at night, you need to check specifically what causes the cough, we must know that the cough is a means of detoxification of our body and stress response, the patient if there is a pathological cough, in fact, in a sense it is a good thing, because it can suggest that there are abnormal changes in our body, to help us find out the disease in time, so it is recommended that we actively seek medical attention to determine the condition as soon as possible, and then Symptomatic treatment.
