Cough Leads To —

Cough is not a disease – but it is a symptom, a protective reflex action of the wind pipe or the bronchial tubes to riitself of mucus or other obstruction, and has many possible causes. Inhaled dust, or a piece of food lodged in wind pipe, can cause a bout of coughing.

Plenty of hot drinks, and lemon or blackcurrant pastilles, may help to relieve a cough. D not dose a child with a strong medicine intended for a adult; consult a doctor. He may prescribe the occasional teaspoon of a mild cough lintus, which can soothe any ticklin at the back of the throat. If a cough lasts for more than a few days consult a doctor.

If the cough is accompanied with a severe pain in the side, it could be a sign of inflammation of the lungs, and a doctor should be called.
