Chronic Cough Clinic.
A screening for people with a chronic or recurrent cough, coughing at night,
or a cough that is non-responsive to medication. Are you tired of your chronic
cough? Have you tried multiple medications and seen many doctors with no
solution? Chronic cough that does not improve despite common treatments
may be caused by disorders such as laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR), post-viral
neuropathy, or sinus disease. Evaluation of the head and neck can help rule
out many causes. If you've had an unresolved cough, this Cough Clinic screening
may help point you in the right direction to find a solution.
