What is a persistent cough?

A persistent cough is a cough that lasts for 8 weeks or longer. While coughs which produce sputum are relatively easy to diagnose, dry persistent coughs may elude diagnosis even after basic investigations have been done. Because the causes of persistent cough are generally not life threatening, often patients and doctors accept the cough as a fact of life and patients can go on coughing for a months or even years.

Most of these types of patients, however, can be helped at the Persistent Cough Clinic through consultation with specialists and the testing offered.

How are persistent coughs diagnosed?

When a patient first visits our clinic, a Consultant Chest Physician will take a complete history. The main priority is to rule out serious conditions such as diseases of the lung structure or lung cancer. If no serious cause is discovered, the doctor will proceed to eliminate the most common causes of persistent cough. Sometimes more than one cause can be identified.
