Wet cough

Coughing (expectoration) is a protective reflex which helps to clear the respiratory tract of mucus and any other foreign bodies which block or irritate the respiratory tract. A cough is generally caused by chemical or mechanical irritation of receptors on the mucous membrane. Coughing begins with a brief inhalation, followed by a large exhalation.

A cough can be the result of a large number of causes. These include bronchial asthma, oesophageal reflux and chronic infection of the sinuses and nasopharynx. However, there is a much broader list of possible causes

A common cough lasts an average of 18 days (sometimes up to 4 weeks) and usually does not improve any earlier than after 2 weeks.
