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 in two types, 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.
