Productive cough are coughs that produce phlegm, in contrast to dry coughs.[1] Usually treated with expectorants that loosen mucus from the respiratory tract. Productive cough is associated with tuberculosis, bacterial pneumonia, and bronchitis while, conversely, emphysema and viral pneumonia are associated with non-productive cough.[citation needed]
