A cough is one of those things that can wear you down over time, especially when it lingers for several days or weeks. Long-lasting relief, however, can make this tiresome problem so much easier.

The cough reflex is the respiratory tract’s first line of defence – the body’s way of clearing your lungs of foreign material and irritants. So it’s ironic that such a noble thing can feel so bad!

A cough can be the result of a cold or flu or other ongoing conditions like asthma, allergy or chronic bronchitis. It can also be caused by irritants such as cigarette smoke, air pollution, perfumes or scented air fresheners.
If it lasts for weeks, a cough can take its toll; interfering with sleep and work, causing tiredness and chest pain.

TYPES OF COUGH
There are three common types of cough:

• Dry cough, also known as an ‘unproductive’ cough for it doesn’t bring up any phlegm or mucus
• In-between cough, medically termed a ‘congested unproductive’ cough
• Chesty cough which helps expel phlegm, also known as a ‘productive’ cough.
