Abstract

Chronic cough in children is a frequent complaint seen by the primary health care provider. Although many of these coughs spontaneously resolve, some are caused by a more serious process and require further attention. Selecting those patients who will benefit from a more extensive evaluation can be a difficult challenge. An overview is provided that emphasizes a systematic approach to the diagnosis and management of chronic cough.
