Cough is a contraction of the thoracic activity that results in the vicious release of air in the lungs. In its simplest definition, cough is an irritation of a person's breathing passages.
The moment that phlegm builds up in the trachea, cough occurs.
Diseases such as heartburn and asthma cause frequent coughing in patients.
Allergens, dusts, and all the pollutants in the environment cause coughing as well.
Knowing what triggers cough makes it easier to choose the necessary course of treatment.
