Whether you’ve been through a bout of flu, or just simply been around a lot of dust, coughs can come from anywhere and at any time.
One minute you’re enjoying life, the next, it feels like your throat is on fire.
For the normal adult, coughs can put a damper on your work productivity and performance.
But for children, coughs can prevent them from learning and playing to their heart’s content.
To know how to relieve coughs, we must first understand what it is.
Here’s what you need to know.
Types of Coughs
There are generally two types of coughs; dry coughs (nonproductive coughs) and chesty coughs (productive coughs).
While the two may seem similar, they have different symptoms and causes.
Dry coughs are a type of cough that does not produce phlegm.
Symptoms of a dry cough usually include a persistent tickling in the throat.
On the other hand, chesty coughs are coughs that do produce phlegm.
The term ‘chesty’ cough comes from the fact that the mucus that makes up the phlegm originates in the chest or lungs.
You know you have a chesty cough when you cough up brown, yellow or green mucus.
You may also hear a wet or rattling sound when you cough. This is due to the mucus that has accumulated in the lungs.
Whether dry or chesty, coughs can really interfere with your day-to-day life.
Here’s how to help get fast relief.
