Cough

What is a cough? A cough is a rapid release of air from the lungs, which can happen involuntarily or deliberately. It is a natural process to cough because it clears the throat and airways of common irritants, fluids, particles and mucus.  Most of us occasionally cough to clear the airways or throat of common irritants, fluids, particles and mucus. Coughs can come from the common cold, an infectious disease(s), various viruses, and bacteria.

However, recurrent coughing for many weeks is usually a sign of a some sort of illness or underlying health condition.

If you have a recurrent cough that has worsened, become painful, or has persisted for several weeks, it may be a sign of a serious health condition, and you should schedule an appointment with Dr. Jonathan Altus who can diagnose and treat the source of your cough.
