📖What is Chronic Cough?

Chronic cough is a cough that persists for more than eight weeks in adults (four weeks in children), often outlasting the initial illness that triggered it. It can be dry or productive of phlegm, and may disrupt sleep, cause chest discomfort, or lead to fatigue. Because so many conditions can cause a lingering cough, identifying the trigger often requires medical evaluation.
