It’s having its own fundamentals and concepts regarding etiopathogenesis of diseases and its management whose efficacy is time-tested and time to time well established by our Acharyas. In classics, descriptions of disease Kasa clearly correlate with cough and its pathophysiology exactly correlates with the mechanism of cough reflex. Kasa is the debilitating disorder of Pranavaha srotas, when untreated, it may lead to serious disease conditions like Shwasa, Kshaya, etc. In Ayurveda Kasa (cough) is a separate vyadhi seen commonly in children. It is the 5th common symptom and most irritating in children.
