Severe Cough and its cure
Posted by: admin : Category: Health
A cough is a sudden, often repetitive, spasmodic contraction of the thoracic cavity, resulting in violent release of air from the lungs, and usually accompanied by a distinctive sound.
Coughs in children are common, and usually accompany many of the normal childhood illnesses. A cough that continues for several days, or increases in severity, should be immediately checked by a physician to rule out other diseases. It is a symptom of an underlying disease or other medical problem that most people assume are due to lung problems. There are several different causes of cough not related to the lungs. Gastroesophogeal reflux, allergies, post nasal drip and certain medications are common causes of cough.
