Coughing is both a respiratory system reflex and a symptom.

While coughing, the muscles of the throat rapidly contracts and the object/substance is moved up gradually towards the mouth.

Repeated coughing gets the substance up to the mouth and they are eventually spitted out along with saliva. If it occurs as a symptom of a disease, it happens whether there is a material lodged in the lungs or not.
