cough techniques

Cough techniques involve controlled methods to clear the airways and improve breathing, especially for those with respiratory issues. Common methods include diaphragmatic (belly) breathing, which encourages deep inhalation using the diaphragm, and huff coughing, a gentle forceful exhalation to move mucus without stressing the lungs. Tussive methods may involve controlled coughing with appropriate posture, often leaning forward slightly, to help expel mucus more effectively. These techniques aim to promote efficient airway clearance while reducing fatigue and discomfort, and are often recommended by healthcare providers to help manage respiratory conditions.
