📖What is Persistent Cough?

Persistent cough is a cough that continues for several weeks without resolving, whether dry or productive of mucus, and can be disruptive to sleep, work, and daily comfort. It differs from an acute cough tied to a cold in that it lingers well beyond the typical course of a viral illness. Identifying the pattern, dry versus productive, and any triggers helps determine the underlying cause.
