A cough becomes chronic when it lasts for two months or longer. A chronic cough can be more than just annoying, it can interrupt your sleep rhythm, upset your stomach, and leave you feeling dizzy and out of breath. The good news is, once the cause is determined, your doctor can develop a treatment plan that gets rid of the cough once and for all.
Dr. Mario Naranjo-Tovar, a pulmonologist at Temple, will discuss the common causes of chronic cough and what treatments are available for it.
