What causes a chesty cough?
A cough is your body’s reflex action to clear your airways of mucus, particles and irritants such as dust or smoke. A chesty cough happens when phlegm is produced to help clear your airways. The most common causes of coughs include:
- Infections such as cold and flu
- Allergies
- Flare-up of conditions such as asthma or COPD
Most coughs clear up on their own within a couple of weeks and shouldn’t be a cause for concern. However, if you have a cough for more than 3 weeks or a cough that is severe, it is recommended that you seek medical advice as it may be a symptom of an underlying condition.
