An Approach to Cough

An overview of a diagnostic framework and algorithm for approaching a patient who presents with either acute or chronic cough.  Etiologies discussed include upper airway cough syndrome, cough-variant asthma, and laryngopharyngeal reflux, among many others.  I also discuss indications for a chest X-ray in a patient presenting with cough.
