About Cough

An asthma cough, on the other hand, is usually a dry, non-productive cough. Once it is triggered, it can continue without stopping until the sufferer is out of breath or gagging. Sometimes you can hear a wheeze at the end of the cough. Most doctors believe that an asthma cough is the result of irritated and swollen airways. The muscles around the bronchial tube try to force the source of irritation out of the airways, and the result is spasms of the muscles that lead to the coughing fits.
