What’s Causing That Cough?

A cough is supposed to protect you. It usually goes away after a few days as it’s the body’s natural way to get rid of particles that irritate the throat and lungs to keep breathing passages clear; but, a persistent cough usually means there is an underlying health problem. Thus, it is important to seek medical attention if your cough is persistent.

Common Cold / Acute Bronchitis

One of the most frequent causes of coughing is a viral infection – in other words, a common cold or acute bronchitis. If we or our children come in contact with people who are suffering from a cold – at work, for example, or in a pre-school nursery, kindergarten or school – then the viruses may penetrate into the bronchi, attack the healthy cells, and multiply.

Smoking

People who smoke or are constantly exposed to dust, gases and vapours often experience a coughing fit. To get rid of the contamination (by cigarette smoke, bacteria or dust), the body naturally produces more mucus.
