Find Relief from Chronic Cough with Expert Care
A chronic cough is one that lasts eight weeks or longer in adults (or four weeks in children). While coughing is a normal reflex, a persistent cough can be a sign of an underlying respiratory condition or other health concern. Chronic cough may be dry or productive (with mucus), and can affect sleep, concentration, and quality of life. It often stems from conditions like asthma, GERD, postnasal drip, or even certain medications.
Common Symptoms to Watch For
Chronic cough may appear with other symptoms, including:
- Throat irritation or hoarseness
- Shortness of breath or wheezing
- Chest tightness or discomfort
- Frequent throat clearing
Diagnostic Tests for Chronic Cough
We use a variety of methods to find the root cause:
- Chest X-ray or CT Scan: Identifies any structural or lung-related issues.
- Pulmonary Function Test (PFT): Assesses for asthma, COPD, or other lung function problems.
- Allergy or Reflux Evaluation: Helps rule out allergies or acid reflux as contributing factors.
Personalized Treatment Plans
Once the cause is identified, treatment can begin:
Targeted Medications:
Such as inhalers, acid reducers, or antihistamines based on the diagnosis.
Lifestyle Changes:
Managing triggers, quitting smoking, or dietary adjustments to reduce symptoms.
We focus on relieving the cough and treating the underlying condition for lasting relief.
