Otolaryngologist, otoneurologist at the CM Clinic Olga Malchenko explained that coughing when infected with the omicron strain of coronavirus appears due to irritation of the nerve endings of the pharynx and larynx. Therefore, it cannot be treated with mucolytic agents that cause sputum, writes Ura.ru.
Malchenko stated that the nerve of the pharynx is affected by the omicron, after which inflammation occurs in the upper respiratory tract. This leads to irritation of the mucous membranes, which affects the nerve endings. The specialist called a way to cure a cough with okmiron.
“In the treatment of such a cough, mucolytic agents are not suitable, drugs that suppress attacks, as well as inhalations, even just with mineral water or various drugs, are prescribed. They soften the mucosa, moisturize it and the irritation goes away, ”the ENT doctor called.

With omicron, the cough can persist for up to three weeks. After one to two weeks from the moment of recovery, doctors may not detect inflammatory changes in the mucosa, but the attacks will continue, since the nerve endings reflexively provoke a cough.
Therapist, immunologist Irina Yartseva confirmed that omicron causes swelling of the upper respiratory tract, irritation and an “irritating, dry, slightly barking, unproductive” cough. According to her, it is possible to stop such attacks by moistening the air, drinking plenty of warm water, rinsing and washing the nose.
“In rare cases, to remove the manifestation of laryngitis and tracheitis, inhalations with fumicort are used, local steroids that relieve swelling,” Yartseva concluded.
