    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonology
    • Internal Medicine

    Background:

    • Cough is a common symptom prompting medical visits.
    • Normal chest X-rays do not exclude significant underlying pathology.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline a comprehensive diagnostic approach for patients presenting with cough and normal chest roentgenograms.
    • To emphasize the need for extended evaluation beyond initial assessments.

    Main Methods:

    • Detailed patient history and physical examination.
    • Meticulous otorhinolaryngology assessment.
    • Standard posterior-anterior and lateral chest roentgenograms.
    • Consideration of advanced diagnostic studies.

    Main Results:

    • A systematic evaluation is crucial for diagnosing cough.
    • Numerous diagnostic modalities may be required.

    Conclusions:

    • Patients with persistent cough and normal chest imaging necessitate a multi-faceted diagnostic workup.
    • A broad range of investigations, from basic to specialized, may be needed to identify the cause of cough.
