Cough is a sudden and often repetitively occurring reflex that helps to clear the large breathing passages from secretions, irritants, foreign particles, and microbes
There are two main types of coughs: acute and chronic.
Acute coughs are short-term and usually caused by a cold or the flu. They typically last up t o 3 weeks. Chronic coughs last longer than 8 weeks and can be caused by conditions such as post-nasal drip, asthma, bronchitis, or acid reflux.
Another type of cough is a dry cough, it does not produce phlegm or mucus, usually caused by viral or bacterial infections. A wet cough or productive cough is one that brings up phlegm or mucus from the lungs, often caused by a chest infection or bronchitis.
Lately, cases of acute cough have spiked causing every child, adult, or older to take some sort of medicine. Cough is more tenacious, does not go easily, and tends to recur.
