A cough is a reflex symptom indicating underlying issues like respiratory infections, allergies, or irritants. It may be dry or productive, accompanied by chest discomfort or throat irritation. Persistent coughs lasting more than a few weeks may require medical evaluation to rule out serious conditions like bronchitis or tuberculosis.
