Systematic Evaluation for Chronic
& Persistent Cough
Stop relying on temporary syrups. Discover and treat the root cause of your cough with Dr. Anugraha.
Overview & Common Symptoms
A cough lasting more than 3 weeks is a symptom of an underlying condition—most commonly cough-variant asthma, postnasal drip, acid reflux (GERD), or occult infection.
When to Consult:
Cough lasting longer than 3–4 weeks without improvement
Sensation of fluid dripping down the back of your throat
Dry coughing paroxysms triggered by talking or cold air
Urgent signs: Phlegm with blood, unexplained weight loss, or persistent fever
Diagnostic & Treatment Approach
- Targeted Investigation: Systematic evaluation to distinguish between sinus drainage, airway hyperreactivity, and silent reflux.
- Pulmonary Function Testing: Spirometry to check for hidden cough-variant asthma.
- Etiology-Directed Care: Prescribing targeted therapies (such as anti-inflammatory inhalers or reflux management) rather than broad-spectrum antibiotics.
FAQs & Booking
Can acid reflux cause a cough without heartburn?
Yes. "Silent reflux" irritates upper airway nerve endings, causing a dry cough without stomach burning.
Why don't commercial cough syrups work?
Syrups only temporarily numb the throat reflex without treating underlying airway inflammation or postnasal drip.
