Coughing is a perfectly normal, healthy reflex the body uses to clear the airways of irritations, i.e. bacterial/viral microorganisms, via mucous, the lungs' natural secretion.

Sadly, there's not a lot we can do to prevent these organisms invading, but we need them shifted out before they start replicating and turning into an infection.

Why support the cough reflex?

The coughing reflex agitates the clearance of mucous, the lungs’ natural secretion, which acts as a barrier to trap and remove irritants. Suppressing a cough can hinder this essential process; what we should be doing is making that expectoration - the capacity to bring mucous up – as effective as it can be as it's an important part of the process.
