Title: What makes you more susceptible to coughs


1
What makes you more susceptible to coughs
  • Allergies
  • If you are allergic to certain particles such as
    dust, or shedding of pet hair or any other such
    thing, you are more susceptible to developing
    coughs and are often looking for cough remedies
    that are soothing rather that ones that are meant
    to get rid of a
  • Bacterial infection.
  • Slide 2
  • Irritants
  • Chemicals can often cause a bad reaction leading
    to debilitating coughs for certain people. An
    exposure to chemicals can occur even from
    spending 15 minutes in a freshly painted room.
    Tobacco smoke also acts as an irritant for
    people, both smokers and non-smokers- making it a
    cause for coughs.

  • Air Quality
  • The air quality largely dictates the
    susceptibility to coughs. With pollution at a
    rise it is very likely for you to develop a
    hoarse throat and feel a tingling at the back of
    your throat especially during winters where the
    pollution levels are worse.
  • Slide 4
  • Chronic Sinus
  • If you have a sinus issue, it is very likely that
    the sinus would further cause a cough due to
    dripping of mucus at the back of your throat. It
    is essential to have a cough medicine handy in
    this case, to ensure that it soothes your throat
    and that you can recover faster.
  • Slide 5
  • Age
  • Children are more likely to fall ill with a sore
    throat or a cough, whether its the common flu or
    a bacterial infection. With age, as immunity
    levels drop, people are again more susceptible to
    illnesses so it is important to take the right
    kind of precautions and maintain a healthy
    lifestyle with adequate hygiene regimes in place.
