DISCUSS dry and wet cough and their distinctions.
A natural reflex meant to remove irritants and mucus from our airways, coughing helps. Not all coughs are, though, the same. Knowing the difference between a dry cough and a wet cough will enable you to select the correct medicine and know when to seek medical advice.
FIRST, what is a dry cough?
A cough free of mucus or phlegm, a dry cough sometimes feels itchy or annoying in the throat and frequent coughing can be distressing. Usually arising from: dry coughs
Virally infected cold or flu
Because the airways remain sensitive, dry coughing can also persist following an illness. Warm beverages and a humidifier can provide comfort.
Second: What is a moist cough?
You could experience throat or chest congestion from a wet cough's mucus or phlegm. Typically brought on by:
Respiratory diseases include bronchitis or pneumonia.
Chest congestion brought on by flu or cold
Medical guidance is needed if the phlegm is thick or lasts longer than two weeks; wet coughs assist to eliminate mucus from the lungs.
Check your kind.
Knowing the difference helps you choose the correct medicine whether your cough is dry and scratchy or wet with chest congestion. Consult a doctor if you have blood in mucus, trouble breathing, or a temperature last over 3 weeks.
Look after your lungs; a prompt examination can have a significant effect!
