Cough itself is not a disease: it is a manifestation of the body's protective functions against damage to the respiratory tract by bacteria.
When the bronchi and lungs are cleared, there should be phlegm when coughing, but when nothing comes up for a while, this is a dry cough. This is a sign that the immune system cannot cope with the disease on its own, and therefore additional measures need to be taken. Before you start treating a protracted and severe dry cough, you need to find out the cause of its appearance, so going to the therapist is an integral part of the treatment. In most cases, people prefer non-drug treatment, as some drugs adversely affect other organs. Alternative methods of treating dry cough involve the use of drugs that irritate the cough center, after which sputum begins to stand out and the airways are cleared. This is how the body copes with viruses and bacteria in the trachea or bronchi.
