HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Acute onset of persistent coughing is most commonly related to an acute infection such as the common cold or flu.
If you are asthmatic then it may indicate an acute asthmatic attack and you may need to be evaluated by your doctor.
The use of a mucolytic may help to relieve some of your symptoms since the cough is productive.
This is medication that can help to break up mucus in the chest.
I hope this helps
