Where does cough go?

[plakhapate]

As I understand cough consists of dead white blood cells and water.

If we fo not throw it out where does it go ?

How is it thrown out of body ?

A great deal of it gets as far as the throat and is swallowed.

And the rest of it is propelled out into the environment. That's the whole point of the reflexive burst of air, just like a sneeze: get that stuff out of here.
