Finally, have it in mind that cough is natural because it is the process through which the body gets rid of mucus. But if your cough seems persistent and gets more severe by the day, then you need to seek medical advice. It is also very important for you to see a doctor if the cough is accompanied with symptoms like fever, fatigue, dehydration, chest pain, breathlessness, thick and smelly greenish or yellowish phlegm, patches of blood, etc. Although it is quite difficult to avoid getting a cough, but you can reduce its risk by maintaining a safe distance from people with flu or cough, washing your hands with soap and warm water regularly and keeping yourself warm in winter.
