Summary

Persistent cough can stem from the upper aerodigestive tract, often overlooked. Prompt otolaryngologist (ORL) examination is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of cough causes.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Respiratory Medicine

Context:

  • Persistent cough is a common symptom prompting medical consultation.
  • Clinical investigations often fail to identify the cause of chronic cough.
  • The upper aerodigestive tract is frequently overlooked as a source of cough.

Purpose:

  • To highlight the role of the upper aerodigestive tract in generating persistent cough.
  • To review the cough mechanism and relevant receptor sites.
  • To discuss specific upper aerodigestive tract conditions causing cough.

Summary:

  • Cough can be triggered by stimuli within or distant from the cough receptors.
  • Secretions from the paranasal sinuses, nasal allergies, laryngitis, post-nasal dripping, and septal deviations are identified as common causes.
  • Acute sinusitis can insidiously lead to chronic inflammation with cough as the primary symptom.

Impact:

  • Emphasizes the necessity of otolaryngologist (ORL) examination for diagnosing cough.
  • Warns against inadequate treatment of conditions like sinusitis, which can exacerbate symptoms.
  • Promotes a more comprehensive diagnostic approach for persistent cough by considering the upper aerodigestive tract.
