A dry cough is annoying and draining because it doesn\u2019t produce mucus, unlike a productive (wet) cough. But what are the best ways to treat a dry cough, what are the common causes, and how do you know if it\u2019s serious? Let\u2019s get into it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is a Dry Cough?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A dry <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/medicasapp.com\/in\/symptom-cough\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cough<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is one where no mucus or phlegm is released. Usually, it\u2019s caused by irritation or inflammation of the airways or throat. A dry cough is more scratchy, lasts longer, and gets worse at night than a wet cough, which helps remove mucus. Although most cases are transient, there are some causes of dry cough that might be a sign of an underlying medical condition that needs to be treated.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Common Symptoms of a Dry Cough<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typical signs of a dry cough are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A constant tickle in the throat<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dryness and irritation of the throat<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A strained or hoarse voice<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exhaustion from coughing a lot<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Discomfort in the chest from coughing repeatedly<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b><i>Also Read: <\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/medicasapp.com\/blogs\/persistent-cough-caribbean-causes-treatment\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Persistent Cough in Tropical Weather: Allergies, Asthma, or Something More?<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Causes a Dry Cough?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A dry cough can be caused by many things, from minor irritants to long-term illnesses.
