Chronic cough has become a significant clinical entity over the past several decades. In most cases, non-chronic cough resolves spontaneously or with medical intervention. However, in a small cohort of patients, cough persists and can adversely affect quality of life. As chronic cough has become more familiar to medical professionals, speech-language pathology has been increasingly recognized as a discipline uniquely qualified to evaluate and treat chronic cough. This session will provide attendees with a detailed background of chronic cough, differential diagnosis of this issue, and methods for treating the patient presenting with chronic cough.
