The most common cause of chronic cough is postnasal drip, which is caused by mucus from your nose or sinuses draining into your throat.
There are a number of underlying health conditions that can lead to chronic cough. These include asthma, allergies, acid reflux, sinusitis and bronchitis. Some medications such as ACE inhibitors used to treat high blood pressure may also cause a cough. In some cases, the underlying cause of chronic cough cannot be identified.
Lung tests, such as spirometry and chest X-ray, can be used to help diagnose chronic cough. Spirometry measures the amount of air you can inhale and exhale, while a chest X-ray can show signs of inflammation or infection in your lungs. While these tests provide useful information for diagnosing chronic cough, other tests such as blood tests, bronchoscopy, allergy testing and CT scan imaging may also be necessary in some cases.
