A cough is a natural reflex that is your body’s way of removing irritants from your upper (throat) and lower (lungs) airways. A cough helps your body heal and protect itself. The different types of coughs are: Acute cough begins suddenly and lasts for two to three weeks, Subacute cough is one that stays around after you’ve had an infection and lasts three to eight weeks, Chronic cough lasts longer than eight weeks, Long-lasting coughs may also be called persistent coughs and Refractory cough is a chronic cough that hasn’t responded to treatment.

Persistent cough can actually be more harmful for your health that you think. It might be signs of something worse.
