A cough can be a real annoyance, but it is meant to do your body good. This rapid expulsion of air from your lungs is your body’s natural reaction to clear your throat of irritants, mucus, fluid, microbes, and foreign particles. The act may be voluntary or involuntary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oftentimes, a cough would go away on its own, even without any treatment. Other times, it is a symptom that signals the onset of another illness, such as the flu. Even though there is usually no need to worry, a cough that lasts longer than usual might be a cause for concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are wondering why your cough is taking so long to go away, here are 17 possible reasons to consider.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Bacterial Infection<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bacterial infection may occur upon recovering from a cold. Your airways may be left irritated and still raw from the illness, making it easier for bacteria to infect you. This could lead to bronchitis, sinus infections, and pneumonia. A long drawn out cough with pain or fever may be a sign of bacterial infection. If such is the case, your doctor may prescribe you an antibiotic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

2. Allergies<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you have been suffering from a chronic dry cough for apparently no reason, you may actually have an allergy. A common example of this is allergic rhinitis, also known as hay fever. Allergy-related cough usually comes out during certain seasons or environments. It is your immune system’s response to allergens in the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

3. Asthma<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
thenypost<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Persistent dry cough is the main symptom of cough-variant asthma. This type of asthma doesn’t usually bring out other symptoms, such as shortness of breath or wheezing, which are normally associated with other types of asthma. If you are diagnosed with cough-variant asthma, typical asthma treatments can gradually ease your coughing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

4. Air Pollution<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
gstatic<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Air pollution has been an ever increasing concern for some time now. A lot of us have no choice but to breathe in polluted air, especially those living in developing cities. We are constantly exposed to a number of pollutants, germs and impurities, making us vulnerable to illnesses, particularly respiratory conditions. Poor air quality can lead to a lingering cough. You can minimize these effects by taking precautions such as avoiding spending unnecessary time outdoors, and keeping out of the sun if you live in a high-ozone area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

5. Smoking<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"

It is common knowledge that smoking can cause a lot of health problems, and it is no wonder that it is heavily discouraged. Smoking can lead to a persistent cough, and when this lasts for more than three weeks, it is known as smoker’s cough. It typically starts out as a dry cough, but may later produce phlegm. It can be accompanied by chest pain and a sore throat, or result in other health conditions, such as bronchitis. There are a number of remedies to ease the symptoms of smoker’s cough, but the most effective treatment is also the most obvious — to quit smoking. This is undoubtedly the best option, and it may also improve your overall health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

6. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"

If you suffer from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which is when you experience acid reflux more than twice a week, you may also suffer from a chronic dry cough. Coughing caused by GERD mostly occurs after a meal, or at night, especially when you are lying down. This disease can also be the culprit of unexplained persistent coughing that is not accompanied by any of the common causes of cough. If this turns out to be the case, getting treatment for GERD can also ease your cough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

7. Still Recovering from Another Sickness<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
hearstapps<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While coughs are usually caused by viruses, sometimes they come as a symptom of a different illness. If you are taking a while to recover from a sickness, it may cause your cough to linger as well. Even if you feel like you are on the road to recovery, some of its unseen side effects that haven’t completely healed could still be making you cough. An example of this is swelling in your throat or lungs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

8. Dehydration<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
askhealthnews<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When your body doesn’t get as much water as it needs, you may become dehydrated. The severity depends on how much liquid your body is lacking. One of the effects that this can have on your body is a prolonged period of coughing. Dehydration makes the lining or your sinuses and airways dry and prone to irritation. This can lead to persistent coughing. If your cough is caused by dehydration, you could remedy this by targeting the cause. Hydrate yourself with water, hot broth, or tea. Alcohol and caffeine are not recommended as these may cause further dehydration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

9. Weather and Air Conditions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
ambienthvac<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Changes in weather and air conditions can cause some health issues. Seasonal asthma and bronchitis that are brought about by cold air can lead to episodes of chronic coughing. On the other hand, dry air can worsen a throat that is already irritated, which can prolong your cough. Because humidity can increase the levels of irritants in the air, this can also trigger symptoms of asthma, which may include coughing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

10. Stress<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"

Too much stress could take a toll on your body. It can weaken your immune system, causing physical symptoms to arise. A cough brought about by stress is known as psychogenic cough, which means that it is a physical illness resulting from mental or emotional stressors. This type of coughing tends to increase during periods of stress, and may even lead to coughing up blood. This is surely an indication that your health is at risk, and it should definitely not be ignored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

11. Postnasal Drip<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
clevelandclinic<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Most people experience postnasal drip at one point or another. This is when your glands produce excessive mucus to fight infection, act as a filter, or moisten your nasal membranes. The excess mucus may pool at the back of your throat, causing you to swallow it without even knowing.  This may result in a persistent cough that is worse at night. Postnasal drip may be caused by a number of things, but there are home treatments that can relieve your symptoms, including your cough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

12. High Blood Pressure Medication<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"

Most of us are aware that practically every drug comes with side effects depending on a patient’s specific condition or due to improper use. Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors is a type of high blood pressure medication that could trigger a persistent dry hacking cough as a side effect. If you experience a prolonged cough while taking an ACE inhibitor for your blood pressure problems, ask your doctor if he or she could prescribe another type of medication for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

13. Pertussis<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"

Pertussis, which is commonly known as whooping cough, is a type of respiratory disease caused by bacterial infection, and is highly contagious. It is characterized by violent coughing that is hard to control and causes difficulty in breathing. The whooping sounds come from the deep breaths that a patient with pertussis tends to take after a bout of coughing. If your persistent cough sounds something like this, better get it checked immediately. Pertussis could be a serious illness, but can it be prevented by getting a vaccine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

14. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
gstatic<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), also known as chronic obstructive lung disease, is an inflammatory lung disease wherein airflow in the lungs is obstructed. Patients with COPD experience long-term breathing problems, and common symptoms include coughing with sputum production and shortness of breath. In fact, the first symptom to develop is usually a chronic cough. This may be mild in the beginning, but if it lingers for over three months in a year for at least two years, it may be a sign of chronic bronchitis, which is a type of COPD. Although there is no cure for COPD, getting proper treatment can prevent complications, ease the symptoms, and slow down the progression of the disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

15. Pulmonary Fibrosis<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"

Pulmonary fibrosis is a type of lung disease characterized by scarring in the lungs. One of its main symptoms is a persistent dry cough. If you experience this along with other main symptoms of the disease, you should immediately seek medical advice to find out if you might have it. While damage to the lungs that is caused by pulmonary fibrosis cannot be cured, getting treatment may ease your symptoms and improve the quality of your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

16. Lung Cancer<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
medscape<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One of the most dreaded causes of a chronic cough is lung cancer. Although this is a less common reason, it is one of the most life-threatening. To make matters worse, symptoms of this disease do not always manifest until it reaches a later stage. While a cough alone doesn’t usually indicate lung cancer, it is important to be aware of the other symptoms of this serious illness, especially if you are a smoker or often exposed to second-hand smoke. If you suspect even the slightest possibility that you might have this disease, make sure to consult a doctor at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

17. Heart Failure<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
afmc<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You might not immediately associate a cough with a heart problem, but a chronic cough could actually be a sign that something is wrong with your heart. A heart failure often causes fluid congestion, or a buildup of fluid in the lungs. Cases like this are often referred to by doctors as congestive heart failure. This fluid congestion can cause you to cough and wheeze, sometimes expelling phlegm or mucus. This type of coughing is also known as cardiac cough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

If any of these causes sound like what you are experiencing, you may have a better picture of what you could possibly be facing.

Even if you think you have discovered what is causing your cough, you should still see your doctor to make sure you are diagnosed and treated correctly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
