chronic cough is most commonly
due to 6 disorders :

Asthma
GERD

Upper airway afferents may reflexly enhance coughing
Nonasthmatic eosinophilic bronchitis recognized as a common cause of chronic cough
Idiopathic cough renamed unexplained cough
The term acid reflux disease, unless it can be definitively shown to apply, replaced by reflux disease

Failure to do correct diagnostic tests
Failure to use ‘empiric’ treatment
Failure to use effective therapy
Unknown disease process Potential Reasons Chronic Unexplained (Idiopathic) Cough « Truly idiopathic cough is rare and misdiagnosis very common,
especially if cough is provoked by sites outside the airways » Eur Respir J 24: 481-492 2004 Idiopathic cough % ?

Thorax 2003;58:1066-1070 Chronic Idiopathic Cough Irwin RS,et al. Chest 2006;130:362-370 It is not correct to state that “a typical lymphocytic airways inflammation is seen in idiopathic cough” because lymphocytic or lymphoplasmacytic inflammation a non-specific finding related to trauma of coughing
Chronic Idiopathic Cough Psychogenic Cough Cough is often triggered by a common cold
Usually dissapears during sleep
Like a dog barking
The diagnosis of psychogenic cough is one of exclusion, after ruling out an organic or functional cause of cough.
Specific or empiric treatment
Antitussives are usually ineffective. Respirology 2006;Suppl 4 ;S160-S174
