Coughs are reflex actions that clear the airways of irritants such as mucus, dust, or foreign particles. They can be caused by a variety of factors, including viral infections (like colds or flu), allergies, asthma, postnasal drip, or more serious conditions such as chronic sinusitis or respiratory disorders.
Post-nasal drip can be annoying and persistent, causing throat irritation, coughing, and congestion. Understanding its causes—ranging from allergies to infections—can help you find the right treatment and relief. If you suffer from allergies or sinus and nasal conditions, please contact Naugatuck Valley ENT at (203) 578-4630 to schedule an appointment.
