What other signs and symptoms are associated with this symptom?

When a person has a cough, there are many things a healthcare provider may want to know, such as:

  • if anyone else the person knows has been coughing or sick
  • if the cough is constant or only occasional
  • if the cough is dry or brings up any mucus or phlegm and the color of the phlegm
  • when the cough started and how long it has been going on
  • whether any blood has been coughed up
  • whether the cough seems to be related to a certain time of year, which often happens when people have seasonal allergies
  • Other symptoms may also be asked about, such as whether the person has a fever, heartburn, runny nose, or weight loss.
