Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ's

Most coughs are caused by a cold or flu.

Other causes include:

• Smoking
• Heartburn (acid reflux)
• Allergies – for example, hay fever
• Infections like bronchitis
• Mucus dripping down the throat from the back of the nose

Broadly speaking there are two main types of cough:

• Productive coughs which produce excess mucus or phlegm
• Unproductive coughs which produce no mucus or phlegm

Based on consumer perception, these two types can be further differentiated into mucus and chesty coughs (productive) & dry and tickly coughs (unproductive).
