Cough
A cough is a reflex action to clear your airways of mucus and irritants such as dust or smoke.
Coughs may be dry or chesty. They are also classified according to how long they last: acute cough lasts for less than three weeks, sub-acute cough gets better over a three-to-eight-week period, chronic (persistent) cough lasts for longer than eight weeks.
Coughs caused by the common cold or by flu usually clear up after several days. Most coughs clear up within two weeks.
Causes
Most people with a cough have a respiratory tract infection caused by a virus, such as the common cold, flu or bronchitis. A persistent cough in adults may be caused by a condition such as rhinitis or asthma, or by a prescribed medicine such as an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibitor, which treats heart disease, or by smoking. In children, a persistent cough may indicate a more serious respiratory tract infection such as whooping cough.
When to see your doctor?
If you have had a cough for more than two weeks following a viral infection, or if your cough is progressively getting worse, see your GP.
Dry cough versus chesty cough
A dry cough happens when the throat and upper airways become inflamed (swollen). It is non-productive, which means that phlegm (thick mucus) is not produced.
The common cold or flu causes a dry cough because your brain thinks the inflammation in your throat and upper airways is a foreign object and tries to remove it by coughing.
Dry coughs are usually felt in the throat as a tickle that sets off the coughing.
A chesty cough usually produces phlegm. The cough is helpful, because it clears the phlegm from your lung passages.
