Introduction
An intense cough, or a sequence of serious coughs, may have many harmful effects on your vocal cords, from mild hoarseness to worse damages such as lesions, bleeding, etc.
The causes of coughing
Coughing is a physical natural reaction to the entry of waste or foreign particles to the system, aimed at preventing suffocation.
But, once you use coughing to clear your throat from obstructions, or excessive phlegm and acids from your breathing system, it can be harmful. In such a case, instead of solving the problem, coughing may cause ongoing vocal cords damage.
In such a case, coughing provokes coughing, which, in turn, generates inflammation.
