The main cause of a productive cough is the presence of mucus, a thick, viscous substance composed of bacteria, viruses, and white blood cells. These secretions form a liquid of varying thickness that can be expelled through the mouth when coughing in the form of phlegm and sputum. This distinguishes it from a dry cough, which is characterized by the absence of secretions and is often linked to irritation of the respiratory tract.
Understanding Sputum
The respiratory tract is lined with a mucous membrane, called the epithelium, consisting of cells equipped with thousands of tiny cilia. When the respiratory tract is exposed to an irritant, the mucous membrane secretes mucus, which is expelled by the movement of the cilia. This is when coughing and expectoration occur. Sputum or expectoration consists of secretions from the bronchi or trachea that are expelled during a coughing fit.
Sputum is 95% water and 5% protein. It may or may not be colored, may be tinged with blood, or may have a foul odor.

Health Education Council:
Bronchial congestion favors the occurrence of infections. It most often results in a fatty cough that does not cause pain but can reduce secretions (sputum or sputum).
The fatty cough is a defense against the congestion of the bronchi by the secretions.
Its role is to clean the bronchi by evacuating the secretions by sputum. This is why the fatty cough must be respected, and even facilitated by the taking of an expectorant.
In addition to the expectorant treatment, the evacuation of the bronchopulmonary secretions can be facilitated by simple gestures and the respect of a few rules:
· drink a lot, (water, herbal tea) to hydrate the secretions,
· humidify the air at a temperature between 17 ° C and 19 ° C,
· avoid tobacco which is an aggravating cause of cough.
