It's very common for us to suddenly go 'Ha...hah!' and get a cough, isn't it? Sometimes we get several coughs in a row. But why do we get this cough? Is this a sign of illness? Although some people are embarrassed about this, it is actually part of our body's defense mechanism. Let's find out more about this today.
What exactly is a crocodile?
Simply put, a sneeze is the rapid expulsion of air from your lungs through your nose and mouth. We cannot control this, which means it is an involuntary action . So never try to stop a sneeze when it is coming.
What actually happens when we cough is that we expel harmful substances from our nose, such as dust, pollen, and dirt. This is one way our body uses to protect us from things that can make us sick. So, while coughing can be a bit annoying, it is rarely a sign of a serious illness.
Why do we always get goosebumps?
There can be many reasons for cramping. Sometimes you may wonder, "Why am I the only one who gets cramping so much?" See if any of these reasons apply to you.
| Reason | Description |
|---|---|
| Allergies | Allergies to things like dust, cobwebs, pet dander, and pollen can cause frequent hives. |
| Viral infections | A runny nose is a common symptom of viral infections like the common cold and influenza. |
| Some medications | Some nasal sprays, especially those containing corticosteroids, can cause hives. |
| Spicy food | Some people get queasy when they eat spicy food. |
| Stress | Don't be surprised, yes. When we are stressed, chemicals like histamine are produced in the body, which can cause hives that resemble allergy symptoms. |
Can crocodiles transmit diseases?
Yes, absolutely. When someone sneezes, about 40,000 tiny droplets from their mouth and nose are released into the air. Imagine how far those germs travel if someone sneezes while riding a bus. Viruses and bacteria live in these droplets. If someone else breathes in this air, or touches a contaminated surface and then touches their nose or mouth, they can become infected.
The most common diseases transmitted by crocodiles are:
- Common cold
- Influenza (flu)
- Throat infections (Strep throat)
- Respiratory infection called RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus)
- Pneumonia
- Meningococcal disease (this is quite rare)
Therefore, when you have to go for a walk, it is very important to cover your mouth and nose with a handkerchief, or at least your elbow. This will protect you and others.
What time should I see a doctor?
If you have a cold, you don't need to run to the doctor for it. However, if you have other symptoms below along with a cold, you should definitely see a doctor. Because it could be a symptom of another disease.
| When to see a doctor | |
|---|---|
| Fever | Nausea and vomiting |
| Difficulty breathing (Dyspnea) | Hives |
| Itchy or watery eyes | Diarrhea |
Your doctor will examine you, if necessary, determine whether the cause is an allergy or an infection, and prescribe the necessary treatment.
Wouldn't it be better to stop a crocodile?
Some people try to stop or suppress a crotch when it comes out of social embarrassment. This is very dangerous. There is a lot of pressure in a crotch. Here are some things that can happen when you suppress it:
- Small blood vessels in the eyes and brain can be damaged .
- The eardrum may burst.
- Vertigo may occur.
- Hearing impairment is also possible.
It's very normal and natural to have a cramp. So when a cramp comes, the best thing for your body is to let it go without trying to stop it.
Does the heart stop when you crouch?
No. This is a misconception among many people. The heart does not stop when you sneeze. However, there may be a very slight change in the heart rate (acceleration or deceleration ) at that moment. But this is very normal, and it does not cause any harm to the heart.
Is it a problem that my little baby is drooling a lot?
It's very common for newborn babies to snore frequently. Don't worry about it. Their nasal passages are very small, so they get blocked quickly. They snore to clear them. However, if your baby has other symptoms along with sneezing, such as fever, decreased appetite, frequent crying, or difficulty breathing , see a doctor immediately.
Take-Home Message
- Sneezing is a protective process in our body. It clears the nose and respiratory tract.
- Allergies, viral infections, and even stress can cause hives.
- When coughing or sneezing, cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your elbow to protect others from illness.
- It is unhealthy to hold a crocodile in a cage, so let it go as it comes.
- If you have other symptoms such as fever, difficulty breathing, or body aches along with your cough, don't ignore it and see your doctor immediately.
👩🏽⚕️ Additional questions (FAQs)
💬 What is Oligospermia?
In medicine, 'Oligospermia' is a medical condition in which the 'healthy sperm count' in a man's semen (Semen analysis) has fallen to an abnormally, extremely low level (Low sperm count - less than 15 million sperm per 1 ml). Although this does not hinder a man's sexual ability (Erection), it is the main and most common problem that hinders 100% of the 'ability to have a child / to have children (Male Infertility)'!
💬 What are the main reasons for a man's low sperm count and fertility?
The main reason for this is 'increased temperature in the testicles'! 1) 'Varicocele' - swelling and constriction of the blood vessels in the testicles (this causes the testicles to heat up and the sperm to die - this is the biggest reason!). 2) Hormonal problems (decreased testosterone levels). 3) Excessive smoking, excessive alcohol/cannabis consumption and mental stress. 4) Permanent destruction of the testicles due to 'Mumps orchitis' contracted in childhood.
💬 What are the home remedies for oligospermia? When should I see a doctor?
To increase sperm count, you must definitely stop smoking! Don't wear tight underwear, don't keep the laptop on your lap (the temperature is too high)! But the biggest danger! 1) If there is a small, hard, growing 'bag of worms / Varicocele' swelling in the testicle, 2) If you find a painless stone-like lump (Testicular Tumor / Cancer), you must immediately see a Urologist (urinary / sexual doctor) and get tested!
