Chronic cough is defined as that which is persisting at least for trhee weeks without an evident cause. It is very common on the otorhinological practice to receive patients with chronic cough in order to rule out that their chronic cough is not produced because of an alteration in the high respiratory system. We show a clinical case with chronic cough and we make reference to the physical exploration, diagnostical method, and possibilities of medical and surgical treatment.
慢性咳嗽被定义为持续至少三周且无明显病因的咳嗽。在耳鼻喉科临床实践中，接诊慢性咳嗽患者以排除其慢性咳嗽并非由上呼吸道病变引起的情况非常常见。我们展示了一例慢性咳嗽的临床病例，并提及体格检查、诊断方法以及药物和手术治疗的可能性。
