PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Cough is consistently the most common patient reported ambulatory chief complaint in the United States. In the almost 21 million annual ambulatory visits, the patients complaint of cough does not persist beyond 8 weeks. However, for patients with recalcitrant symptoms, chronic cough can be a very frustrating affliction. For the comprehensive otolaryngologist, determining the etiology of the cough and proper management can be challenging and time consuming. As chronic cough is often multi-factorial and multi-system, a systematic history and a management algorithm can streamline these often lengthy patient vistis. Tailored to the comprehensive otolaryngologist, this Expert Lecture will discuss strategies to efficiently evaluate and manage chronic cough with emphasis on history taking, exam, communication with consultants, and management algorithms. We will review the treatment for chronic cough beyond asthma allergies and acid reflux. Specifically, we will review neuromodulating agents, cough suppression therapy, injection augmentation, and superior laryngeal nerve blocks.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Provide comprehensive otolaryngologists guidelines and algorithms to efficiently manage patients with chronic cough.
  2. Review medical management for chronic cough, aside from medical treatment of asthma, acid reflux, allergy and chronic rhinosinusitis, in particular neuromodulators, and behavioral cough suppression therapy.
  3. Discuss techniques and new evidence in support of office-based procedures chronic cough including superior laryngeal nerve blocks and vocal fold injection augmentation.
