Question 9

why is coughing worse while laying down?

Accepted Answer

Aspiration?: If you're coughing laying down and you bring up mucus, the chance of mucus going down into your respiratory site is more probable than seated or standing up.  You're re-infecting yourself and also introducing whatever that maybe in your mouth.  That's why we usually bring the head of the bed up to 45 degrees in "aspiration risk patients".  Aspiration pneumonia is a common occurrence in the elderly.

See below: •wash your hands
•use tweezers to grab the splinter
•if the splinter is under the skin or hard to grab: sterilize a pin or needle by soaking it in rubbing alcohol or placing the tip in a flame. Use the pin to gently remove skin over the splinter. Then use the tip of the pin to lift the end of the splinter out. You will probably still need to use tweezers.
