Cough: aetiology, natural history, diagnosis, therapy
Abstract
The article constitutes a literal review and an analyze of the author’s private experience in this field. A classification of cough, main causes of its appearance and its complications have been shown. Approaches to the cough diagnosis have been given in detail. It is emphasized that a cough cause is necessary to be estimated. The algorithm for the cough cause recognition developed by the author has been demonstrated. Treatment approaches to a coughing patient have been considered according to the cough aetiology and natural history, and the cough character (productive or non-productive). Finally the author noted that detection of the cough mechanisms and peculiarities allows choosing an efficient therapy for the cough removal or control.
