"Do I have secretions when I cough?"

It is common to have secretions when coughing, especially after a cold. This is usually not a cause for concern, especially if you are feeling generally well. Coughing can often be caused by post-nasal drip. Using a saline solution like Hydrasense or Sinus Rinse for nasal hygiene can help. It can be used as often as needed throughout the day and at least 30 minutes before bedtime. There is no maximum number of times you can use it in a day. Drinking plenty of fluids, either cold or hot, can also help. If your symptoms worsen after a week, it is advisable to consult a doctor as a precaution.
