| The main difference between a dry cough and a cough is the presence of sputum. dry cough refers to cough without phlegm. A common cold and acute bronchitis can also cause dry cough, and some respiratory infections are also common, such as acute sinusitis, acute rhinitis, acute tonsillitis, acute pharyngitis, and acute episodes of chronic bronchitis. In addition, inhaling some irritating gases and dust can also induce acute dry cough. cough is a protective response mechanism of the respiratory tract, it can be cleared by coughing and respiratory tract secretions harmful factor.

Some patients showed only mild fever, mild fatigue, no pneumonia, most recovery after 1 week. A few infected people have no obvious clinical symptoms and only test positive.
