Chronic Cough

A chronic cough is a persistent cough that lasts for more than 8 weeks in adults. It can be dry or produce mucus and is often a sign of an underlying health issue. Common causes include asthma, allergies, acid reflux, chronic bronchitis or infections. Sometimes, it may also be related to more serious conditions like tuberculosis or lung cancer. Chronic coughing can disrupt daily life, cause fatigue and affect sleep. Proper diagnosis and treatment are very essential to manage the condition effectively and improve quality of life.
