🤧 Causes of Cough 🌿

A cough is a common reflex that helps clear your airways. But when it lingers, it can be a sign of an underlying issue. Here are some common causes:

1️⃣ Cold & Flu: Viral infections are the top culprits behind that persistent cough. 🦠 2️⃣ Allergies: Pollen, dust, pet dander �� they can trigger coughing if you’re sensitive. 🌸 3️⃣ Asthma: Tightness in the chest and wheezing often accompany this cough. 🌬️ 4️⃣ Post-Nasal Drip: Mucus dripping down your throat can irritate and cause coughing. 🌀 5️⃣ Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): Acid reflux can lead to a chronic cough. 🍔 6️⃣ Smoking: Smoking irritates the lungs, causing a cough, especially in the morning. 🚬 7️⃣ Infections: Bacterial infections like pneumonia or whooping cough can also be the cause. 🔬

If your cough persists or is accompanied by other symptoms, it’s best to see a doctor! 🩺 DR. K. RAVI VISAKHAPATNAM CONTACT :9390398062
