yes -- grapes have sulfites them selves and they use sulfites in the drying process so all dried fruits have sulfites !!! unless there is some new health food type or brand that i don't know about ??? 1. The content of sulfites in raisins depends on the type. Not all raisins contain sulfites. 2. The drying process involve sometimes sulfur dioxide. 3. Wines contain sulfites but in not dangerous concentrations.
A cough can be the result of a respiratory tract infection such as the common cold, acute bronchitis, pneumonia, pertussis, or tuberculosis. In the vast majority of cases, acute coughs, i.e. coughs shorter than 3 weeks, are due to the common cold. In people with a normal chest X-ray, tuberculosis is a rare finding. Pertussis is increasingly being recognised as a cause of troublesome coughing in adults. After a respiratory tract infection has cleared, the person may be left with a postinfectious cough. This typically is a dry, non-productive cough that produces no phlegm. Symptoms may include a tightness in the chest, and a tickle in the throat. This cough may often persist for weeks after an illness. The cause of the cough may be inflammation similar to that observed in repetitive stress disorders such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
The cough associated with heart failure is less likely to be felt in the throat than a flu- or cold-related cough. Sometimes the cough produces white, frothy sputum or thick mucus, which may be tinged with blood. However, heart failure can also cause a dry cough.
