Cough usually appears at the most inopportune moment, significantly disrupting the usual rhythm of life. And an attack can occur unexpectedly: during a trip in public transport, important negotiations, at a performance or a solemn anniversary, when you want to say kind words. Therefore, due to even a short attack, a person is forced to avoid many activities.
However, the danger of coughing is that, if left untreated, the disease will begin to progress, and the inflammation that coughing provokes will not go away on its own.
