Overview: Understanding Cough & Cold

While a common cold or acute cough often resolves within a few days, a persistent or recurrent condition can signal underlying respiratory issues such as bronchitis, allergic rhinitis, asthma, or secondary viral/bacterial infections.

A cold is a viral infection primarily affecting your upper respiratory tract (nose and throat A cough is your body’s vital defense mechanism, designed to clear the airways of mucus, allergens, pollution, and foreign irritants. Timely medical evaluation prevents minor symptoms from escalating into lower respiratory tract infections, pneumonia, or chronic sinus conditions.
