Re: Coughing/ Big Island (Hawaii)

But why do we cough and what can we do about coughing? Taking a closer look into different kinds of coughs and natural home remedies for cough can help make life a little easier.

A cough is your body’s way of responding to irritants in your throat and airways. Here’s how it works, according to the Mayo Clinic: An irritant stimulates nerves there to send a cough impulse to your brain. The brain signals the muscles of your abdomen and chest wall to give a strong push of air to your lungs to try to expel the irritant.

There are generally about four different types of coughs that you should be aware of: Dry cough, whooping cough, croup cough and wet cough. All of these coughs have a different sound and by listening to what your cough sounds like, you will be in a better position to know what to do about it. Let’s break it down further.
