Do You Have a Wet Cough or a Dry Cough?

Coughs are generally separated into two categories: wet coughs and dry coughs. A wet cough is a typical symptom of the common cold or the flu, while a dry cough is often the result of allergies, an upper respiratory infection, or asthma. While you may have a good idea of the differences between a wet and dry cough, here’s a helpful explainer:

• A wet cough is also known as a productive cough, as it expels mucus from your respiratory system. It can be felt from deep within the chest.
• A dry cough doesn’t produce mucus and feels more like a tickle in the back of your throat.

You’ve likely treated many coughs at home, perhaps by drinking warm liquids or taking a cough suppressant. However, if your cough is due to a bacterial infection, these at-home remedies may not help you find the relief you need. If your cough is accompanied by a fever, yellow or green mucus, shortness of breath, or night sweats, or you’ve been dealing with your symptoms for longer than a few weeks, come to PhysicianOne Urgent Care and we’ll help diagnose your condition and get you on the road to wellness.
