10To Remember
Clearly, coughing is a valuable and important reflex to protect the integrity of our airway. Still, coughing fits are annoying. When we cough to remove an irritant from our throat, we know the value of our cough. Other times, we seem to be coughing for no reason. The principle to remember is that coughing is always a response to irritation in the airway. The best way to stop this coughing is to identify the root cause of the problem and fix that.
For example, when our throat is dry, we simply need to drink water. If we know that there is another cause of our coughing fits, we can take whatever practical steps we need to stop that irritant. This includes taking allergy pills, using natural herbal teas, or simply changing the circumstances that lead to coughs.
