64岁的刘老太两年来咳得撕心裂肺，还以为患上不治之症，没想到病根竟然出在一节红辣椒上。近日，厦门第二医院市呼吸中心的医生从她的气管中取出了这节长达3厘米的红辣椒。

The 64 - year - old LiuLaoTai two years cough tore heart crack lung,Thought suffering from an incurable disease,The trouble was that in one day on the red pepper.recently,The second hospital of xiamen city respiratory center doctor from her windpipe took out this section for 3 centimeters of red pepper.

　　刘老太是四川人，平时爱吃辣。两年前一次家庭聚会吃麻辣火锅，刘老太特别高兴，被逗得大笑，没想到笑着笑着就被呛到了。她没有在意，但从那时起，咳嗽就开始没完没了地缠上她。她四处求医，在多家医院拍胸片、做CT，但医生都说没什么问题，可能是支气管炎，然而，她吃了一堆药，就是不见好。为此，刘老太甚至怀疑自己患上了绝症，辣椒也不敢吃了。然而，咳嗽依旧，她晚上经常吵得一家人都睡不好觉。

LiuLaoTai is sichuan people,Usually love to eat spicy.Two years ago a family party to eat spicy hot pot,LiuLaoTai especially happy,Was made laugh,Didn't think smile smile was to choke.She didn't care about,But since then,Cough began to endless winding on her.Her doctor around,In many hospitals sternum/Do CT,But the doctor says no problem,May be bronchitis,however,She ate a lot of medicine,Is not good.therefore,LiuLaoTai or even suspect that you have a terminal illness,Pepper also dare not eat.however,Cough still,She often at night the noise family all sleep well.

　　近日，刘老太到厦门第二医院市呼吸中心就诊。医生为她做了气管镜检查，发现刘老太右下肺支气管内有一异物，取出来一看，竟然是一个长达3厘米的红辣椒。

recently,LiuLaoTai to xiamen second hospital see a doctor, respiratory center.The doctor did for her bronchoscope examination,Find LiuLaoTai right lower lung bronchial foreign body in a,Take a look at,It was a for three centimeters of red pepper.

　　厦门市呼吸中心柯明耀主任介绍，气道异物是慢性咳嗽病因之一。异物多为骨头、鱼刺、花生米、瓜子壳等硬性异物，这些东西比较硬，一旦掉入气管，很容易卡在气道内，不易咳出。

Xiamen respiratory center KeMingYao director is introduced,Airway foreign body is one of the causes of chronic cough.Foreign body in the bone/fishbone/peanut/GuaZiKe and rigid foreign body,These things is hard,Once fall into the trachea,Very easy to card in the airways,Is not easy to cough up.

　　红辣椒属于软性食物，掉入气道后一般会随剧咳而咳出，像这样滞留气道内长达两年的病例，临床上实属罕见。辣椒刺激性大，引起刘老太激烈咳嗽，但辣椒通过CT检查也见不到，所以被长期误诊。

Red pepper belong to soft food,Fall into the airway commonly after can follow play well and cough,Such detention airway in more than two years of cases,Clinically rare.Pepper irritating big,Cause LiuLaoTai intense coughing,But pepper through the CT check and see,So long the misdiagnosis.

　　医生表示，支气管镜检查是确诊和治疗气管内异物的惟一手段，建议不明原因的慢性咳嗽做支气管镜检查。(海西晨报 记者 陈淑君 通讯员 蓝玉培)
