Coughing
Coughing may be a symptom of atelectasis. It's more common when the condition is caused by an airway blockage, but it could potentially happen regardless of the cause of collapse.
Coughing can occur due to many other conditions. Smoking and allergies can cause coughing in certain people. The common cold, flu, whooping cough, pneumonia and problems with the sinuses are other potential culprits. Croup is a common cause of coughing in children.4‘Cough Causes.’ Mayo Clinic, Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, 13 June 2020, www.mayoclinic.org/symptoms/cough/basics/causes/sym-20050846
