Coughing is a natural process which clears the respiratory tract of foreign particles and normal secretions. Everyone is susceptible to coughs from time to time, especially when exposed to air pollution, pollen, etc. However, if you have been coughing for over two weeks, and you haven’t been influenced by common causes like smoking, it could be a symptom of a greater problem including bronchitis, pneumonia, and in rare cases, lung cancer.
