depends upon the illness. If you have a respiratory illness, then yes you should cough because that removes the mucus that the bacteria and other irritants are. However, if you have a throat infection coughing will only aggravate symptoms; you should instead try to have water (nothing with acid, alcohol, or caffeine in it) on you at all times to calm a tickle in your throat.
