Loss of Appetite
Sometimes, a dry cough might be triggered by acid reflux, a digestive issue. In these cases, your appetite will be affected. Also, the inflammation and irritation inside your throat can make it more difficult to eat foods as usual. That’s why many people with a dry cough tend to eat less and lose their weight gradually. Even when you can consume foods, persistent coughs would trigger nausea and vomiting. Over time, you might experience a partial or complete loss of appetite if left untreated. [2]
