Winters are terrible for those who struggle with coughs and colds. Coughs are sometimes caused by smoking , air pollution, and aging.
It's just your body's way of cleaning up the respiratory system and fighting off infection , bronchitis, or any other problem.
Here's what Dr. Mercola of the Mayo Clinic says:
“A cough is considered 'acute' if it lasts less than three weeks. It is considered "chronic" if it lasts more than eight weeks ( four weeks in children).
Some causes of acute cough include:
- cold
- flu
- inhalation of an irritant
- pneumonia
- whooping cough
Common causes of chronic cough:
- allergies
- asthma ( most common in children)
- bronchitis
- gastroesophageal reflux disease ( GERD)
Moreover , “although the reasons vary , the reason you cough is to help your and upper airways. It is one of your body's defense mechanisms designed to make breathing easier. Sometimes it's easy to tell why you're coughing , but it can also be a mystery."
