The symptom of cough may result from a multitude of etiologies involving different parts of the aerodigestive tract. This article focuses on the association of cough and swallowing dysfunction in the sense that cough may be an indicator of swallow dysfunction and in the importance of cough in preventing aspiration and aspiration-related disorders. Whereas these associations have been known for a long time, research is starting to connect the dots, allowing targeting of strategies aimed at diagnosing and preventing illness in certain dysphagic patients.
咳嗽症状可能由涉及上消化道不同部位的多种病因引起。本文重点关注咳嗽与吞咽功能障碍的关联，即咳嗽可能是吞咽功能障碍的一个指标，以及咳嗽在预防误吸和与误吸相关疾病方面的重要性。尽管这些关联早已为人所知，但研究开始将这些点联系起来，从而能够针对某些吞咽困难患者制定旨在诊断和预防疾病的策略。
