A dry cough is a common symptom characterized by the absence of mucus or phlegm. It typically results from irritation or inflammation in the throat and airways. Various factors can trigger a dry cough, including respiratory infections, allergies, exposure to irritants like smoke or dust, and certain medications.
Unlike productive coughs, which expel mucus, dry cough often feels unproductive and can cause discomfort or a persistent tickling sensation in the throat. Individuals experiencing a dry cough may find relief by staying hydrated, as drinking fluids helps soothe the throat and reduce irritation. Avoiding exposure to environmental irritants, such as smoke or chemical fumes, can also alleviate symptoms.
Using a humidifier or taking steam inhalation can help moisturize the airways and alleviate dryness, providing temporary relief from coughing. While over-the-counter cough suppressants may offer short-term relief, it’s essential to address the underlying cause of the cough for long-term management, staying hydrated, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle to support respiratory health.
