Thumbs Up 
[size=4][b]Dry Cough - Dangers of Whooping Cough[/b][/size][hr]The name whooping cough comes from the sound 'whoop' that occurs when a person is suffering from coughs. Whooping cough is also known as pertussis. A few decades ago, whooping cough was one of the most common causes of deaths in children and babies all around the world. Today the frequency of the disease has reduced by a great deal due to the availability of vaccination. However, one cannot ignore the possible dangers of whooping cough that can occur, if the condition is left untreated or is not treated properly. Let us first take a brief look at the disease and then know more on the dangers related to it.

[size=large][b]How to Increase Lung Capacity[/b][/size][hr]Cardiovascular Activities: Cardiovascular exercises are perfect for increasing lung capacity and for enhancing cardiovascular function. Walking, running, jogging, rowing, swimming, dancing, skiing, cycling, skating, and aerobic exercises, should be done on a regular basis. Don't overdo any of these activities, to avoid strain on your muscles or any other injury. These exercises are also good for the muscles. They involve consistent movement of the large muscles of the body, which triggers a strong demand for oxygen. Therefore the rate of breathing increases to satisfy the demand of oxygen, thereby increasing lung capacity to a certain extent.

One of the other risk associated with the disease is that as it is a highly contagious disease, it is spread very easily. Lastly, although you should be aware of these potential dangers, you should also remember that the possibility of death occurring due to whooping cough is very rare. Whooping cough can be treated and cured completely. Take care!

[size=large][b]What is Whooping Cough[/b][/size][hr]Whooping cough is a respiratory disorder caused by bacteria known as Bordetella pertussis. The bacteria cause infection in the lungs which gives rise to certain symptoms like cough, mild fever, nasal congestion, vomiting, fatigue, etc. However, the symptoms of this condition, at an early stage, appear similar to the symptoms of common cold. The severe symptoms like face turning red or blue, sever dry cough, etc., develop a week later and hence, identifying this condition early is very difficult. Whooping cough is highly contagious and can be transmitted from person to person through the droplets expelled out while sneezing and coughing. This condition can be found in people of all age groups; but babies and children are at a higher risk of contracting it. Antibiotics are used for the treatment of whooping cough. People have an inclination of bragging on the knowledge they have on any particular project. However, we don't want to brag on what we know on Lungs, so long as it proves useful to you, we are happy.

These passageways thicken and constrict, making it very difficult for a cat to breathe when an asthma attack occurs. Because asthma can fast become a life-threatening health problem, a veterinary evaluation is needed by any coughing cat. While there are a number of factors that promote asthma in cats, it really is believed to grow as an effect of allergic bronchitis. Common factors that can bring about the severity of an asthma attack include: Asthma-like symptoms in cats can also be associated with other disease, including pneumonia, respiratory parasites, tumors, heart failure and heartworm.

[size=large][b]Asthmatic Bronchitis[/b][/size][hr]Bronchitis and asthma are two inflammatory airway conditions. The condition is called asthmatic bronchitis when and health bronchitis occur together. Common asthmatic bronchitis causes include: The symptoms of asthmatic bronchitis are a mix of the symptoms of asthma and bronchitis. You may experience some or all the following symptoms: You might wonder, is asthmatic bronchitis contagious? Yet, chronic asthmatic bronchitis typically isn't contagious.

[size=large][b]Dog Asthma (Allergic Bronchitis)[/b][/size][hr]Asthma is essentially a term for difficulty breathing (called "dyspnea"). Although in dogs the disorder typically is referred to as allergic bronchitis dogs, like individuals, can develop asthma. In dogs, this illness is typically caused by an allergic reaction to something in the surroundings, which then causes an inflammatory response in the upper airways. Most of the time, the allergen is something which the dog inhales. The symptoms of so-called "asthma attacks" can vary broadly from occasional respiration problems to acute dyspnea that approaches suffocation. The dog needs immediate emergency veterinary care to survive, when the effects of asthma become this intense. There is a lot of jargon connected with allergic bronchitis asthma. However, we have eliminated the difficult ones, and only used the ones understood by everyone.
