Coughing or clearing the throat in medical terms is known as a throat cleansing activity. The buildup of thick mucus (mucus) in the back of the throat often causes an itching sensation, thereby making a person reflex to clear the throat. But did you know that the habit of coughing can trigger a noise? Coughing may be just a bad habit, but it can also be a sign of health problems. Causes of coughing include asthma, allergies, respiratory infections, post nasal drip, chronic sinusitis, chronic cough, acid reflux, and side effects of some high blood pressure medications. In addition, poor air quality, smoking habits, stress and anxiety, and dry throat are also some other causes. When clearing, friction that occurs between the left and right vocal cords can cause the appearance of nodules (bumps on the skin or under the skin of more than 0.5 cm) in the vocal cords, which leads to changes in sound. Unconsciously while coughing, you often cough because it will feel better afterwards. In fact, the habit of clearing it can actually harm the health of the throat and the vocal cords. Hedging is often more a habit than needs. As he clears his throat, the vocal cords are stamped together by force. If this is often done, the vocal cords may become irritated and the glands under the vocal cords will produce thick mucus in an attempt to lubricate the vocal cords to keep them from drying out.
Well, unfortunately when someone feels there is a thick mucus in the throat, a frequent response is to try to remove it by clearing it, so there is an endless chain. As a result, there was a change in the structure of the vocal cords and sound disturbances.
Fortunately this bad habit can be prevented. However, it is important to know whether to clear a bad habit or to be caused by an underlying illness. As quoted from the Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust, a few tips that can be done to prevent the habit of coughing include:

Use a humidifier if necessary, especially in a room that tends to dry like an air-conditioned room. Bad habits new habits can be overcome if you are conscious do it. Try to count or ask friends or relatives who are around you how many times in one hour you cleared. Try to reduce it slowly. Look for other alternatives, such as:
- Drink water when itchy in the throat.
- Perform two swallowing movements. The first swallowing movement attempts to move the mucus from the vocal cords, and the second swallowing moves the mucus into the stomach.
- Mengemut candy without sugar that aims to stimulate the movement to swallow.
- Yawning and swallowing.
- Try to remove the "mmm" sound in low tones, followed by swallowing.
Coughing can cause noise. This may be caused by habit or initiation by irritation of the vocal cords. Like a vicious circle, clearing can lead to endless chains. The chain can be decided by following some tips above. If it is not stopped now, the longer you do this coughing habits, the harder it will be to overcome them.
