Most of the time, this unpleasant symptom only sticks around for a few days, but some people suffer from persistent or chronic cough that lasts for weeks, or even months. But what prevents your body from kicking the cough and why do some people seem to be more susceptible to coughs and colds than others? Chronic or persistent cough can be the result of many potential causes and it may produce different symptoms in different people.
