ABSTRACT
Although chronic cough in adults can be caused by many etiologies, four conditions
account for most cases: upper airway cough syndrome, gastro-esophageal reflux
disease, also known as laryngo- pharyngeal reflux disease, bronchial asthma, and nonasthmatic
eosinophilic bronchitis. All patients should be evaluated clinically with
spirometry, and empiric treatment should be initiated. Other potential causes include
angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor use, environmental triggers, tobacco use,
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and obstructive sleep apnea. Chest radiography
can rule out concerning infectious, inflammatory, and malignant thoracic conditions.
Patients with refractory chronic cough should be referred to a pulmonologist or
otolaryngologist in addition to a therapeutic trial of gabapentin, pregabalin, and
psychotherapy.
