Chronic cough

Symptoms of exposure Inhalation may cause irritation to eyes, nose, and throat (coughing). Chronic exposure to high concentrations may cause photophobia, blurred vision, and lacrimation (Patnaik, 1992 Windholz et al, 1983).

Dust particles inhaled in tobacco smoke, together with bronchial mucus, must be removed by the ciliated epithelium from the airways. However, ciliary activity is depressed by tobacco smoke and mucociliary transport is impaired. This favors bacterial infection and contributes to the chronic bronchitis associated with regular smoking (smoker s cough). Chronic injury to the bronchial mucosa could be an important causative factor in increasing the risk in smokers of death from bronchial carcinoma.

Codeine was first isolated from opium by Robiquet in 1832, but did not come into general clinical use until about 1880. Since then the outstanding chnical value of codeine has been for the relief of cough. Chronic cough, as in tuberculosis, often entails prolonged codeine administration. Codeine also has extensive use as a nuld analgesic. Daland (62) stressed the fact that codeine can be used successfully against the pain of cancer in all but severe cases. 

Pericarpium papaveris, contains several bioactive alkaloids, such as PV, MO, and COD. It is a type of traditional Chinese herbal remedy commonly used to treat chronic cough, chronic lax, and cramp. The main benefits obtained from P. papaveris are due to the contained PV, which has the functions of relaxing smooth muscle and alleviating human suffering. However, the content of PV in P. papaveris varies with different growing conditions. Therefore, it is very important to determine PV accurately in P. papaveris for its quality control and LC has been employed for this purpose [61, 65].

Conditions for which it is used include acute bronchitis, laryngitis, whooping cough, chronic gastritis, diarrhea, and lack of appetite.

In cases which recover from the pulmonary edema, there is usually no permanent disability, but pneumonia may develop later. Concns of 100—150ppm are dangerous for short exposures of 30 to 60 minutes. Concns of 200—700ppm may be fatal after even very short exposures Continued exposure to low concns of the fumes, insufficient to cause pulmonary edema, is said to result in chronic irritation of the respiratory tract, with cough, headache, loss of appetite, dyspepsia, corrosion of the teeth and gradual loss of strength... 

A broncho dilator is a drug used to relieve bron-chospasm associated with respiratory disorders, such as bronchial asthma, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema These conditions are progressive disorders characterized by a decrease in die inspiratory and expiratory capacity of die lung.
