COUGH refers to a sudden expulsion of air from the lungs that helps clear the airways. It can be a reflex action triggered by irritants in the throat or respiratory tract. Coughing can also be a symptom of various health conditions, including colds, allergies, or infections. It is important to monitor the duration and severity of a cough, as persistent coughing may require medical evaluation.
