Why cough?

Salam wbt..

Today, I'm going to give some tips on coughing since I experience this more than one month! So, I've read one article from Drugs.com which was sent to my email.
Here they go:

-- Coughing is the body's way of ridding the respiratory tract of an irritating substance. Allergies, asthma or inhaling secondhand smoke are common triggers for a cough.
The National Heart Lung and Blood Institute mentions these additional potential causes:
  • Air pollution or inhaling fumes from paint or perfume.
  • Medical conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), heart failure or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
  • Bronchitis or a respiratory infection.
  • Certain medications, including beta blockers and ACE inhibitors, both commonly prescribed to treat high blood pressure and other cardiovascular problems.
