Don't let a cough slow you down

​​Don't let a cough slow you down[1,2]​

Coughing is a common way for your body to clear irritants from your airways, but it can also signal an impending illness.

​1 to 3 days

Typically linked to a cold or flu; no doctor visit needed as your immune system should handle it.​

4 to 7 days

You’ll likely feel improvement & start recovering.

​ ​7 to 21 days

Chronic coughs can persist for a month or more. If your cough continues for over three we​eks, consult a doctor.

Fact or Fiction?

All coughs are contagious. Fiction! Some coughs are caused by conditions like Asthma or COPD.

Smoking is a leading cause of a lasting cough.


Common triggers include

  • Irritants:Smoke, strong odors, mold, dust, & pet dander.
  • Medical Issues:Colds, flu, bronchitis, sinusitis, pneumonia, asthma, & smoke exposure.

When to see a doctor​

Look out for thick mucus (especially yellow or blood-stained), wheezing, a fever above 101.5°F, or shortness of breath. In emergencies, seek immediate help if there’s choking, difficulty breathing, or blood in phlegm.

Alternative suggestions to alleviate the symptoms:

  • Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids.
  • Improve air moisture with a cool mist humidifier.
  • Elevate your head while sleeping to help with nasal drainage.
  • Use steam from a hot shower to relieve congestion.
  • Drink honey with tea for relief.
  • Rest well.

Winter-Proof Your Wellness!
