Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Cough: Coughing is the body’s natural mechanism for clearing irritants like allergens, mucus, or smoke from the airways, helping to prevent infections. Coughs can either be dry or productive. A productive cough (wet cough) involves the expulsion of sputum, such as phlegm, mucus, or other substances from the lungs. Coughing is often triggered by allergies or viral infections, but the presence of mucus can indicate a respiratory infection. Thick, white mucus may suggest a bacterial infection in the airways, while clear or light-colored mucus typically points to allergies or a mild infection. Yellow or green mucus is usually a sign of a more serious respiratory infection.
