There are two main types of cough: dry cough and productive cough. A dry cough is usually caused by irritation or inflammation in the throat and does not produce mucus. A productive cough, on the other hand, produces mucus or phlegm and is often a sign of an infection or illness. Dry coughs are often described as tickly or hacking, while productive coughs are characterized by the presence of mucus. By paying attention to the presence of mucus and the sound of the cough, you can distinguish between the two types.

If the cough persists or worsens, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
