=== Nonproductive Cough ===
* [[Smoker's cough]]
* Aspiration
* [[Congestive heart failure]]

*:* Most common cause of chronic cough in nonsmokers
* [[GERD]]
*:* Second most common cause of chronic cough in nonsmokers
* [[Asthma]]/reactive airway disease
* [[ACE inhibitor]] use
* [[Pneumonia]]
*:* ''Typical'' pneumonia is characterized by acute or subacute onset of fever, dyspnea, fatigue, pleuritic chest pain, and cough
*:* ''Atypical'' pneumoniais characterized by more gradual onset, dry cough,headache, fatigue, and minimal lung signs
* [[Acute bronchitis]]
*:* Most commonly caused by viruses
*:* Postviral bronchitis may last beyond 6 weeks
* Aspirated foreign body
* [[Lung cancer]]
* [[COPD]]
* [[Sarcoidosis]]
* [[Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia]]

== Complications ==
The complications of coughing can be classified as either [[Acute (medical)|acute]] or [[Chronic (medicine)|chronic]]. Acute complications include ''cough syncope'' ([[fainting]] spells due to decreased blood flow to the brain when coughs are prolonged and forceful), [[insomnia]], cough-induced [[vomiting]], rupture of [[bleb]]s causing [[spontaneous pneumothorax]], [[subconjunctival hemorrhage]] or "[[red eye (medicine)|red eye]]", coughing [[defecation]] and in women with a [[prolapse]]d [[uterus]], cough [[urination]].  Chronic complications are common and include abdominal or pelvic [[hernia]]s, fatigue [[fracture]]s of lower ribs and [[Tietze's syndrome|costochondritis]].


== Treatment ==
== Treatment ==
Coughs can be treated with [[cough medicine]]s. Dry coughs are treated with cough suppressants (antitussives) that suppress the body's urge to cough, while productive coughs (coughs that produce [[phlegm]]) are treated with expectorants that loosen [[mucus]] from the [[respiratory tract]].  Centrally acting cough suppressants, such as [[codeine]] and [[dextromethorphan]] reduce the urge to cough by inhibiting the response of the sensory endings by [[depolarization]] of the vagus nerve.  A recent study indicates that, because of the presence of [[theobromine]] in chocolate, 50 [[gram]]s of dark [[chocolate]] may be an effective treatment for a persistent cough.<ref name="omaretal"/>


Gargling with salt and warm water can also be helpful by reducing phlegm.

==During injections==
==Case Studies==
Coughing during an injection can lessen the pain of the needle stick caused by a sudden, temporary rise in pressure in the chest and spinal canal, inhibiting the pain-conducting structures of the spinal cord.<ref>{{cite journal | pmid = 14742367  | title = Reducing venipuncture pain by a cough trick: a randomized crossover volunteer study | last = Usichenko | first = TI | coauthors = Pavlovic D, Foellner S & Wendt M. | year = 2004 | journal = Anesthesia and Analgesia | pages = 952-3 | volume = 99 | issue = 3 | accessdate = 2007-07-16 }}</ref>
