Cough - Introduction - What is Cough?

Definition:

Cough is defined as a sudden, often repetitive, spasmodic contraction of the thoracic cavity, resulting in violent release of air from the lungs. It is a reflex that forces air from the lungs with a sudden distinctive noise.

Some coughs are dry, while others are productive. A productive cough brings up mucus. Coughs can be either acute or chronic:

• Acute Coughs usually begin suddenly. They are often due to a cold , flu , or sinus infection. They do not last any longer than 2-3 weeks.
• Chronic Coughs are those which last longer 2-3 weeks. Chronic coughs may also be accompanied with mucus.

Coughing is an important way to keep your throat and airways clear. Coughs are very common in children, and are often accompanied with many of the childhood illnesses. A cough often accompanies infections of the upper or lower respiratory tract.
