Cough

Cough is the symptom of an involuntary reflex forcefully expelling air from the lungs.

Cough can result from:
· allergies
· postnasal drip
· asthma
· infections of the airways, throat and lungs.
· acid reflux from the stomach (often silent, without heart burn)
· lung cancer

Chronic cough should always be evaluated by your doctor.
