A cough is a biological reflex that removes irritants or debris in the upper respiratory tract and keeps the airways clear.
Occasional coughs develop when you inhale dust, smoke, or other environmental irritants. When a cough becomes persistent, lasting for several weeks or months, it can be a symptom of a chronic respiratory condition.
Common causes of a chronic or recurrent cough include:
Cermak Immediate Care offers comprehensive care for acute and chronic coughs in adults and children.
The experienced medical providers use advanced testing to diagnose asthma, COPD, and other chronic respiratory conditions. They create a care plan to calm a persistent cough and address its underlying cause.
Schedule a diagnostic evaluation at Cermak Immediate Care if you have a cough that lasts several weeks and doesn’t get better with home care.
You should also meet with a physician if you have a severe cough that disrupts your sleep or prevents you from doing physical activities.
The providers review your symptoms to determine if you have a wet cough, one that produces mucus, or a dry cough. They might take mucus samples to test for infection and examine your airways for obstructions and/or inflammation.
You might need lung function testing to confirm or rule out asthma, COPD, and other lung conditions.
Your treatment plan for a cough depends on its cause. The Cermak Immediate Care physicians personalize a care plan based on your health and how severe your cough is.
Medications to reduce inflammation in the airways will probably be appropriate for adults and children with acute or chronic asthma. You might also need to take medication and make lifestyle and diet changes to control acid reflux and GERD symptoms.
If the source of a chronic cough is COPD or another chronic lung condition, you’ll need prescription medication to improve lung health and supplemental oxygen to support your breathing.
