The cough may be acute or chronic. A sharp cough covers a gap of 2–3 weeks and is usually associated with a cold and flu. Chronic cough more than 2-3 weeks. The cough consists of three phases: inhalation, forced expiration against a closed slit and the opening of the glottis, accompanied by a quick, strong release of air from the lungs. The release of air is usually accompanied by sound, and coughing can be voluntary or involuntary.
