What is cough?

Cough is not a disease, but a protective reaction of the body to expel mucus or foreign objects from the airways.

Millions of cilia sit on the mucous membrane of our airways and can move like a lawn swaying in the wind. There is a thin layer of mucus on these cilia. Pathogens (such as bacteria, fungi or viruses), dust, pollen and other small molecules get stuck in this mucus and are transported together with the mucus towards the throat, where the mucus is either swallowed or coughed up. However, this effective cleaning system is hampered if there is a respiratory infection. Then more and more viscous mucus is produced, which can no longer be easily removed and which accumulates on the mucous membrane. The body responds with a cough to remove the mucus from the airways.
