CHRONIC COUGH
  • Cough is a common complaint. If it lasts more
    than 8 weeks, cough is described as chronic.
    Presence of shortness of breath, with or without
    exertion, in association with persistent cough
    needs to be investigated without delay because it
    could be an indication of asthma, chronic
    bronchitis or emphysema. Weight loss and fatigue
    when associated with cough that persisted over
    three weeks calls for immediate investigation.
    Cough can originate from
  • The lungs
  • The airways
  • The throat
  • The larynx
  • The nervous system
  • Allergy of the nose, sinuses, and the lungs
    (asthma), are among the most common causes of
    chronic cough. Dont loose by delaying a complete
    investigation of a persistent cough. It may take
    only small steps to save a life.
