Chronic cough is a stressful condition and can lead to extensive investigations. Bronchial asthma and postnasal drip syndrome are common causes, but sometimes the origin of cough is outside the respiratory tract (1,2). Such a relatively simple test as esophageal pH probing may suggest appropriate (antireflux) therapy.
慢性咳嗽是一种令人感到压力的病症，可能会导致进行广泛的检查。支气管哮喘和鼻后滴漏综合征是常见病因，但有时咳嗽的根源在呼吸道之外（1,2）。像食管pH值监测这样相对简单的检查可能会提示合适的（抗反流）治疗方法。
