AB  - KEY  CONCEPTS  Cough  is  classified  as  acute,  subacute,  or  chronic  based  on  duration  of  symptoms.  Cough  is  an  essential  component  for  lung  health  maintenance,  but  persistent  or  excessive  cough  ceases  to  be  protective,  is  bothersome,  and  adversely  affects  quality  of  life.  Although  cough  is  associated  with  a  variety  of  diseases,  the  duration  of  cough  helps  narrow  the  potential  etiologies  for  cough  symptoms.  The  presence  of  dyspnea,  red  flag  symptoms,  and/or  symptoms  suggestive  of  acute  bacterial  rhinosinusitis  indicates  the  need  for  referral  to  the  patient’s  primary  care  physician.  Treatment  trials  (eg,  intranasal  corticosteroids,  first-generation  antihistamines,  treatments  for  gastroesophageal  reflux  disease)  can  help  rule  out  common  causes  of  chronic  cough.
