Chronic Cough
A chronic cough is one that goes on for an extended period and does not let up as a temporary cough would. More than a disease in itself, it is usually a sign that something deserves attention.
How it presents: It can be dry or with phlegm, persistent or intermittent, and sometimes is accompanied by throat clearing, chest discomfort, or disrupted sleep.
Possible causes: Among them are respiratory processes, allergies, reflux, or environmental irritants.
Which specialist evaluates it? The pulmonologist focuses on the airways and the lungs, the otolaryngologist on the throat and upper airways, and the internist or family physician offer a general view. If the cough does not go away over time, it is advisable to discuss it with a professional to find its origin.
