A wet cough brings up mucus, often linked to a chest or lung infection. If left untreated, it can become chronic.
A dry cough usually indicates throat irritation and may be triggered by cold air, dust, pollen, or viral infections such as the common cold.
Both types should ease within 3 weeks.
If your cough lasts longer or you’re unsure what’s causing it, chat to our doctor.
