Cough can be broadly divided into two types:

1. Dry cough without sputum

2. wet cough with sputum

1. A dry cough that does not produce sputum is described as a dry cough, and is commonly associated with upper respiratory tract infections, or colds.

2. A wet cough filled with sputum is described as a cough and is commonly associated with bronchitis or pneumonia.

Coughing is one of the body's defense reactions to expel secretions and foreign substances from the respiratory tract.

In some cases, using cough suppressants to stop your cough may make the condition worse.

It is important to correctly diagnose the disease that is causing your cough.

Therefore, it is very important to tell the doctor about your own cough symptoms and the cough symptoms of your family members, and discuss them with them when making a diagnosis.

The principle of any disease is early detection and early treatment. Please consult your doctor and receive appropriate treatment before your illness develops into a serious disease that you cannot cure on your own.
