Overview
Chronic cough is a common condition that affects up to 10% of adults and, not surprisingly, is encountered by healthcare workers in all fields of clinical practice.
Chronic cough can coexist with or without pulmonary and extrapulmonary conditions and can be refractory to therapies that generally improve these associated conditions.
Often chronic cough is not associated with any detectable disease. The basis of chronic cough is now attributable to a state of cough hypersensitivity characterised by increased cough responses to stimuli that affect the airways and vagally innervated tissues as well as by excessive cough responses to innocuous stimuli.
