Market Insight

The cough is an automatic response from the human body to the irritant. Whenever human throat and airways sense any irritants, they send signals to the brain about it, and the brain sends signals to the chest wall and abdomen to take a continuously deep breath in and breath out with fast speed to remove the irritant from the body. During this process, the cough is formed. Further, the cough can be from other reasons also, such as the common cold, acute bronchitis, pneumonia, pertussis, flu, and smoking or health problems such as asthma, tuberculosis and lung cancer.
