Everyone will cough. Sometimes the cough may be expected or unexpected or it can also be a simple cough or indicative of a bigger or worse illness.
Sometimes the cough comes with phlegm or it is just a dry cough. At times, you will also need to see a doctor and the cough will go away on its own.
My mom said I had some sort of chronic cough growing up. She then brought me to doctors who could not find out what was wrong for sure.
And then the cough just went away after a few weeks. Nobody can say exactly what caused that sort of chronic cough and what made it go away.
My mother reminded me of this episode as a child and asked me what I thought that meant. Now that I am well aware of spiritual meanings and signs, perhaps I can talk about the spiritual meaning of coughing.
She told me to write about it and share what I know to help others, especially those who are coughing with an unknown medical cause.
What Does Coughing Symbolize Spiritually?
Coughing spiritually symbolizes the need for purification. Many times in our lives we need to be purified as part of our spiritual journey.
Many tend to fear the phrase spiritual purification but there is nothing to be scared about it. Purification, after all, isn’t as complex as what many people claim.
- Praying to ask for forgiveness can be considered purification because we are asking the heavens to purify us again by forgiving us of sins and trespasses;
- Confessing the sins and praying like what Catholics do are also purification. They unburden themselves to the priest and pray as they were told to ask for forgiveness;
- Training your mind to think spiritually pure thoughts and trying to stay away from sins are also signs of our desire to be spiritually good and healthy;
- Reading the word of the creator is a way of purifying our thoughts as the activity also guides us in our actions.

Coughing during the day is a sign that an angel just visited you.
This angel drooped by to check on you and see for himself or herself how you are. There was a need for this angel to visit you personally.
Maybe there was a message that had to be given to you while you were sleeping.
It could also be a routine visit from your guardian angel. Do not worry as this visit isn’t a sign of bad things to come.

What Does A Dry Cough Mean Spiritually?
A dry cough spiritually means to be in touch with your soft side.
Many times, we are too preoccupied with presenting ourselves as strong, and capable of handling even the toughest challenges.
We may also be so concerned about surviving that we forget our soft, caring, and nurturing qualities.
If you find yourself holding back your affection for people you love and you have a dry cough, then this is a spiritual message to be in touch with your soft side.
You can show affection for others rather than withholding them. It is also alright to show some vulnerability if it makes others understand you better.
