Chronic cough could be a result of underlying diseases (e.g., asthma, GERD), a complication of drug therapy (e.g., ACE inhibitors), or have an idiopathic feature without a clear underlying cause. Treatment typically begins with drugs targeting the suspected underlying disease; if there is no improvement, different classes of drugs might then be tried to treat the cough and identify its etiology. Physicians also prescribe antitussive agents to manage the disturbing cough symptoms. The sequential and empirical approach in treating chronic cough makes the treatment landscape complex.
