#chroniccough #lunghealth #pulmonologist

🤧 How is 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝?

In this 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐞𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐝𝐞 of our series, we're discussing different treatment options, which depend largely on the underlying cause:

1️⃣ TB-Related Cough: This requires anti TB drugs, usually for a minimum of six months.

2️⃣ Asthma-Related Cough: Inhaler therapy is used to control asthma symptoms, thereby relieving chronic cough.

3️⃣ Reflux or Gastritis-Related Cough: Medication for gastritis can help treat the chronic cough associated with this condition.

4️⃣ Rhinitis-Related Cough: In these cases, a nasal spray or antihistamine tablet can help manage rhinitis symptoms and hence the associated cough.

Remember, the key to treating a chronic cough effectively lies in accurately determining its root cause.

Always discuss your symptoms in detail with your doctor.

Stay tuned for the next episode where we will talk about treatment outcomes for Chronic Cough.

Together, we can clear that cough! 🎥🤧
