medical
Relating to, or caused by, a cough.
Tussal describes anything connected with coughing, most often in medical descriptions of a tussal fit or a tussal reflex triggered by irritation in the airway. It is built directly from tussis, the Latin word for a cough, and is closely related to the more familiar tussive, which means much the same thing. Doctors reach for tussal when describing the mechanics of coughing itself rather than the illness that causes it.
