Basic Concepts of Coughing

Coughing occurs when the cells of the respiratory tract become inflamed. Inflammation leads to the action of coughing. As a result of this inflammation, there is higher pressure when air is expelled from the lungs. Depending on the duration of onset and persistence of coughing, it can be categorized into acute, subacute, and chronic types.

Coughing often comes with symptoms, which can be chronic or acute. Common symptoms include:

Some symptoms may not be listed above. If you have concerns about any symptoms, please consult your doctor or a healthcare professional.

Risk Factors for Coughing

For individuals with chronic lung conditions such as asthma or chronic bronchitis, persistent coughing might occur in specific settings or activities. Some medications, like Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, can lead to coughing. However, once the medication is stopped, the cough often becomes dry and improves.

Causes of Coughing When irritants are present in your lungs, the body’s natural response is to cough to expel those irritants. Many things can stimulate your lungs, such as :
