Finnish research: A person inherits either a mucous or a dry cough from his parents

Coughing. And has been coughing for a long time. Is this the flu again – or something more serious?

Prolonged cough is a silent public health problem. Finnish researchers have also focused on it.

“I never thought that I would start researching coughs. But it’s a little-studied and interesting disease, significant in terms of public health,” says the specialist in lung diseases and allergology Anne Lätti From Kuopio University Hospital.
