Coughing techniques

Coughing techniques involve controlled methods to clear the airways effectively. A good technique includes taking a deep breath to fill the lungs, then holding it briefly before coughing forcefully from the chest. This helps move mucus up and out of the airways. Some people use "huff coughing," which involves taking a series of quick, forceful breaths to loosen mucus without straining the throat. Proper technique is essential for clearing mucus efficiently, especially for individuals with respiratory conditions. Always cough with an open mouth and avoid excessive force to prevent discomfort or injury.
