Coughing is a defense mechanism of the body that serves to expel secretions and foreign particles that may be present in the respiratory tract from the respiratory system.

Depending on its duration, a cough can be classified as acute if it lasts less than three weeks or chronic if it lasts more than eight weeks (four weeks in the case of children).

Some of the most common causes of acute cough are the common cold, the flu, inhalation of an irritant such as dust, smoke, etc., pneumonia, or whooping cough.

In the case of chronic cough, the causes are allergies, asthma, bronchitis, gastroesophageal reflux disease or postnasal drip.

Depending on the type of cough, it may be:

* Dry: produced by irritating stimuli on the pharynx, larynx and upper respiratory tract.

* Productive: produced by the stimulation of the nerves of the lower respiratory tract, and accompanied by mucus.

Regardless of the type of cough, it can be very bothersome, even causing insomnia. The high pressure that coughing creates in the chest cavity can also cause muscle damage, muscle soreness, or chest pain.
