How it works
Airway irritants directly stimulate cough receptors and cause airway inflammation, perpetuating the cough reflex.
Passive smoke exposure is as harmful as active smoking for cough. Air purifiers may help indoors.
Getting started
This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.
