Question

if the medical record documentation states that a patient has a productive cough, it means that the patient is?

Answer 1

suffering from asthma...i might be wrong not sure

Answer 2

I don't exactly know how to put this in scientific terms, but it is a wet cough which when completed, has brought up phlegm enough to fill a handkerchief. It is the last stage of a common cold before it goes away.
