About this document
Chronic Cough: Diagnosis and Management by Gopinadh Ganji is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses chronic cough, including its definition, pathophysiology, morbidity, and treatment approaches. It reviews guidelines for evaluating and treating chronic cough using an algorithmic approach. The three most common causes - asthma, upper airway cough syndrome, and gastroesophageal reflux - are often treated sequentially for at least 3 months. For reflux-related cough, lifestyle modifications and weight loss are emphasized over proton pump inhibitors, which have a strong placebo effect.
