What is Cough Mechanism, Complications, and Treatment about?
Cough is an important defense mechanism that expels materials from the respiratory tract. It occurs through three phases: inspiration, compression, and expiration. Cough can be caused by chemical, mechanical, or inflammatory irritants and lead to complications in various body systems if excessive or chronic. Treatment depends on the severity and underlying cause of the cough, and may include antihistamines, decongestants, inhaled corticosteroids, antibiotics, antitussive medications, and lifestyle changes.
