What are the symptoms of a dry cough? With a dry cough, you may feel a tickling sensation in your throat. You may try to clear your throat by coughing. As you forcefully expel air, your throat can become irritated and dry.
Sometimes when you cough, you can bring up mucus, also called phlegm or sputum. When that happens, doctors call it a “wet” or "productive" cough. When you have one, it may sound and feel like something is rattling around in your lungs. This kind of cough may happen because of an infection or another health condition.
