For what reasons might the body have sudden cough attacks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cough attacks: A cough is a forceful reflex to clear the airway. The reasons for cough can be irritation, infection or inflammation generated from the larynx, bronchi, sinus, ear, lungs, lining of the lungs, brain, and even heart (rarely). It's for this reason that a thorough exam and evaluation is necessary to find the cause of coughing, so treatment can be provided.
