Cough
  • Cough is also one of the most common symptoms. Coughing can protect the human respiratory tract, and help eliminate respiratory secretions. Coughing can be a reflexive action when any part of the respiratory tract mucosa is irritated. Cough is often accompanied by phlegm. When there is no phlegm, it is called dry cough. Cough is caused by inflammation or infection of the respiratory tract, inflammation or infection of the lungs or pleuras, tumors in the chest wall, asthma, airway foreign bodies, and irritation of the airway by chemicals. Pharyngitis, tracheitis, pneumonia, pleurisy, smoking, tracheal tumors, lung cancer, Bronchiectasis, pulmonary tuberculosis, whooping cough, diphtheria, etc., may cause coughing. Sometimes cough is a sign of an allergic reaction; sometimes it is habitual or neurological.
