Chronic cough, lasting over 8 weeks, can stem from asthma, GERD, or other conditions. Diagnosis requires a thorough history, imaging, and sometimes advanced tests, as multiple factors may contribute.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology and Internal Medicine
  • Gastroenterology
  • Otolaryngology

Context:

  • Cough is a prevalent patient complaint with diverse etiologies.
  • Effective diagnosis necessitates multidisciplinary collaboration among specialists.
  • Understanding cough pathomechanisms, triggers, and associated diseases is crucial.

Purpose:

  • To review German, British, and US-American guidelines for managing chronic cough.
  • To highlight key diagnostic approaches and potential underlying causes of persistent cough.

Summary:

  • Chronic cough (≥8 weeks) is frequently linked to asthma, GERD, bronchitis, and upper airway diseases, though other conditions can also cause it.
  • Diagnostic strategies include detailed patient history, chest radiography, and spirometry.

  • Advanced investigations like bronchoscopy and CT scans are indicated for complex cases, recognizing that multiple contributing factors are common.

    • Impact:

    • Provides a guideline-based approach to diagnosing chronic cough.
    • Emphasizes the importance of considering multifactorial causes in chronic cough.
    • Facilitates accurate diagnosis and targeted therapeutic management for patients with persistent cough.
