What Your Cough May Be Telling You
A cough is your body’s way of clearing your airways. Most coughs come from colds and go away on their own, but some need a closer look.
Coughs can be caused by:
Drink warm fluids, use a humidifier, rest and try honey for adults and children over 1 year old. Avoid smoke and other irritants.
Visit urgent care if a cough lasts more than two to three weeks, comes with a high fever, produces thick or discolored mucus or causes wheezing. Our clinics have on-site X-rays to check for pneumonia.
