Causes of
Chronic Cough

Chronic cough is one of the most common reasons for a visit to a medical provider. There are multiple causes including post-nasal drip, sinusitis, asthma, and gastroesophageal reflux. Allergies may play a role. In many cases, there is more than one cause. Diagnosis and treatment is often very complex. A thorough evaluation is usually necessary. Your BVAAC allergist is well-versed with the available evidence-based cough guidelines. Tests such as allergy skin testing and lung function testing may be needed.
