Cough is a symptom in contemporary science, however, in Ayurveda, Kasa (cough) is an alternate Vyadhi usually encountered in children. It is the 5th common symptom and most irritating in children. Approximately 25-30% of the world's children suffer from Kasa. There are five types of Kasa. Kaphaja Kasa is one of them which is undertaken for study because kapha is predominant in Balyavastha and most of the Kaphaja Vyadhis are seen in Balyavastha.
