Cough is the number one reason for family doctor visits. Your cough may be acute (it lasts a little while) or chronic (it lasts a long time).

Coughing is the body's way of removing foreign material or mucus from the lungs and upper airway passages or of reacting to an irritated airway. Coughs have distinctive traits you can learn to recognize. A cough is only a symptom, not a disease, and often the importance of your cough can be determined only when other symptoms are evaluated.
