COUGH. Winter season has fallen in with a bitter gift of cough. Cough is termed as, clearing of lungs and throat of irritants, fluid or unwanted material by a sudden forceful release of air from the lungs, with a sound. Chest and throat diseases normally have a common symptom of cough. Long-term coughing is a symptom of tuberculosis, lung cancer and bronchitis. Congestive heart failure, heart valve disease and ear infection may be linked with severe coughing.
