Chronic Cough
An Introduction to Chronic Cough
Chronic cough is defined as a cough that lasts longer than 8 weeks. It can seriously impair quality of life. Frequent causes include allergies, asthma, bronchitis, gastroesophageal reflux disease and lung disease. Chronic cough remains a challenge to diagnose and manage clinically, although advances in our scientific understanding of chronic cough have been made in the last decade. Novel therapeutic agents are currently in development and clinical trial results are proving promising for the treatment of this common condition.
