Dry coughs that continue after other cold symptoms clear or that occur without other symptoms may be caused by a variety of health problems. Some people start coughing when they breathe very dry,heated air. This can be caused by environmental irritation or allergies.
A cough can accompany a common cold, for instance, or be due to allergies, lung disease, or even gastrointestinal troubles. Although the causes are varied, the reason you cough is to help your body get rid of foreign material or mucus from your lungs and upper airway passages.
