As it is written above, the symptoms of a tracheitis are mainly a cough, and more precisely a dry cough, still called irritative. It is indeed the irritation of the mucous membrane of the trachea which is at the origin of this cough. This cough is difficult to repress, to control, which can occur during the day or at night
Generally, acute tracheitis cures spontaneously within a few days without the need to intervene with treatment. When dry, frequent and irritating cough becomes troublesome, antitussive medications can relieve the symptoms. Anti-inflammatory drugs can be effective in calming inflammation of the lining of the trachea

Laryngitis treatments vary depending on the cause and location of the inflammation. 1 - Subglottic laryngitis The situation can be distressing for the child, as for those around him. Above all, it is urgent to calm everyone down. It is recommended to keep the child warm in a humid atmosphere if possible (for example, in the bathroom by running hot water into the bathtub or kitchen by boiling water in a bathtub
The causes The causes of laryngitis vary with the age and location of the inflammation. 1 - Subglottic laryngitis It is a laryngitis of the small child between 1 and 6 years old. It is often observed in the course of a rhino-pharyngitis (cold) of viral origin. 2 - Epiglottitis Epiglottitis is a severe bacterial laryngitis caused by a bacterium such as haemophilus influenzae
Most white tonsillitis or acute erythemato-pultaceae are of viral origin. To know what is the type of your angina, the observation of symptoms is not enough. To be sure of the cause of angina, the doctor should or should do a throat test to determine if it is viral or bacterial. Viral angina The virus in question may be: respiratory syncytial virus, myxovirus, coronavirus, adenovirus or myxovirus parainfluenzae
The symptom of white angina is the presence of an inflammation covered with a whitish coating at the back of the throat. This coating may be more or less extensive, and cover the surface of the tonsils or only parts. Other numerous symptoms may indicate angina or be associated with it: Fever more or less high (mainly for bacterial angina)
Depending on the type of angina, the treatment will be different: Treatment of viral angina In this case, the administration of antibiotics is useless, even harmful. Since angina is caused by a virus, the doctor will try to fight the symptoms: to lower the fever and to eliminate the pains. The treatment will therefore be based on the administration of a medicine for pain and / or fever, and lozenges, sprays or mouthwashes to fight sore throat
If the pain persists or if the white tonsillitis tend to return repeatedly, it is advisable to consult your GP or even an ENT, in order to be treated without delay. From the basic treatment to the removal of the tonsils (partial or total), the proposed panel of solutions is wide. It is essential to consult and treat a white angina
Varicose veins are due to stagnation of the blood in the veins, by the play of gravity, sometimes because of an obstacle downstream (between the varicose vein and the heart), but mainly because of a malfunction of the valves anti -return. The anti-reflux system (valves) that is inside the veins is no longer effective
The classic symptom of a varicose vein - or varicose veins - is a dilation of a vein over a larger or smaller portion. This symptom appears in a standing position. Moreover, the doctor always examines the standing patient to visualize varicose veins. Varicose veins sometimes form a sort of rosary on a leg's path

Varicose veins and venous insufficiency can be the subject of sometimes major complications. If they are large in diameter and you bump, they can break. Hemorrhage is then easily treated by local compression. The internal rupture that causes hemorrhage in the leg, in a muscular lodge, causes pain because of the hematoma created
To prevent the appearance of varicose veins, only one watchword: ease your veins! Delay as much as possible the installation of a venous insufficiency then varicose veins. Have a healthy life, do not hesitate to use the means of contention at your disposal in pharmacies. 1 - Avoid "hot" situations Hot baths, hot wax (waxing), too hot climate, saunas, steam rooms
The causes of allergies are becoming better known. Different biological mediators intervene in the process of an allergy. And at the end of the chain of biological events, cells secrete a large amount of the histamine that causes the allergic reaction. Allergy is a disproportionate response of our body to a normally harmless external agent (pollen, cat hair, strawberries
The symptoms of allergies are very different. They can appear more or less brutal and violent, on different organs and devices. Here are some of these symptoms: 1 - Respiratory allergies. They are caused by air allergens, pneumallergens, such as pollen but also molds, mites, animal hair or chemicals such as detergents
