Reduce cough

What this outcome means

Cough severity is how often and how forcefully you cough, and how much it disrupts talking, sleeping, or getting through the day. On DoseRank it maps to a defined health outcome built from human studies on cough frequency counts, severity rating scales, and symptom-related quality of life – data sourced from open sources and specialized resources. DoseRank is not medical advice.
