Coughing is the body’s way of getting rid of anything that’s irritating the throat or lungs.
There are several different types of coughs that stem from health conditions.
They can last anywhere from a few days to longer than eight weeks (viaMedlinePlus).
Some coughs produce phlegm while others are considered dry coughs and do not produce anything.
Even taking cough suppressants too frequently can keep your body from doing this important job.
