Cold Followed By Bad Cough
Coughing is an important way to keep your throat and airways clear. However, too much coughing may mean you have a disease or disorder.
Some coughs are dry. Others are considered productive. A productive cough is one that brings up mucus. Mucus is also called phlegm or sputum.
Coughs can be either acute or chronic:
- Acute coughs usually begin suddenly and are often due to a
cold ,flu , or sinus infection. They usually go away after 3 weeks. - Subacute coughs last 3 to 8 weeks.
