Cough

Coughing is a reflex action of the body to clear the throat of mucus or irritants. While everyone coughs to clear their throat from time to time, a number of conditions can cause a more frequent cough that can last up to 3 weeks (acute) or longer (chronic).

Cough can be caused by various conditions, temporary or even permanent.

 

Coughing is a typical way to clear your throat. When the airways become clogged with mucus or foreign particles such as smoke or dust, coughing is a reflex response to clear and facilitate breathing.

 

The most common cause of cough is a respiratory infection, such as a cold or flu. Respiratory infections are usually caused by a virus and can last from a few days to a week. Infections caused by the flu can last a little longer and sometimes require antibiotics.

 

Cough caused by smoking is almost always a chronic cough with a distinctive sound and is known as smoker's cough.

Bronchial Asthma

A common cause of cough in young children is asthma. Usually, an asthmatic cough includes wheezing, making it easier to detect.
