Illustration of a Person Coughing - Medical & Health Education Resource #1471617 (License: Personal Use)

This minimalist black-and-white sketch shows a stick figure mid-cough, with closed eyes, furrowed brows, and two diagonal lines representing expelled air. The figure’s arms are crossed over the chest, suggesting an instinctive protective motion during coughing. The style is intentionally simple to ensure clarity across age groups and language barriers.

Commonly used in public health campaigns, school health curricula, medical infographics, and symptom checkers to visually communicate coughing as a symptom of illness (e.g., cold, flu, allergies, or respiratory infections). Matches user intent for understanding, identifying, or teaching about respiratory hygiene.
