Disease/Condition Glossary
Cough: Coughing can be defined as the body's way of clearing irritants like allergens or smoke from the airways. Cough can be described as two types, namely, dry cough and wet cough. A dry cough is a non-productive cough that is tickly and doesn't produce any mucus. A wet cough (chesty cough) is a productive cough that produces mucous or sputum. Cough is commonly caused as a response to allergy or viral infection, but coughing up mucus is possibly an indication of infection in the respiratory tract.
