A cough is a strong defensive reflex of the body to clear germs, mucus, or dust that can irritate the throat and air passage. There are various ways to differentiate one type of cough from another be it dry cough, wet cough, barking cough, whooping, or allergic cough. Treatment of cough depends on the type, duration, and underlying conditions associated with it. Home remedies constitute a major part of therapy for managing various types of coughs. A doctor’s intervention involves medical management of symptoms if not resolved on their own.
