Chronic Cough

A cough lasting for eight or even more weeks is usually not only annoying but also indicates some underlying disease in the lung or the whole system. Kateb Medical has excellence in diagnosing and treating chronic coughs for their underlying causes. This could be due to causes like asthma, post-nasal drip (rhinitis), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), pulmonary fibrosis, or even unknown mass or nodule in the lungs. Careful evaluation is carried out involving imaging, pulmonary function testing, and laboratory studies to make proper diagnosis.

Treatment is personalized to the different causes for every individual. For example, in the case of asthma or pulmonary hypertension being the cause of the cough, individualized treatment through medications and respiratory therapy would be given. If the cough is caused by infections like pneumonia or complications due to COVID, antimicrobial and supportive therapy would be initiated. Our team operates in a multi-disciplinary way to relieve symptoms, and not letting it develop into complications like disturbances in sleep, fatigue, or airway injury. Our purpose is to help the patient regain the normality of life step-by-step, breath by breath.
