Chronic Cough in Children

Chronic cough in children is defined as a cough that persists for more than 4 weeks. It can be distressing for both the child and the family, often interfering with sleep, school, and daily activities. While a cough is a natural reflex, a persistent one may indicate an underlying condition that requires expert evaluation.

At Dr. Puja Chaudhary's clinic, we provide a thorough, compassionate approach to diagnosing and managing chronic cough. Our goal is to identify the root cause — whether it’s asthma, allergies, infections, or another condition — and create a tailored treatment plan that brings your child relief and restores their quality of life.

Our Chronic Cough Care Program Includes:

• Comprehensive Evaluation: Detailed medical history, physical examination, and advanced diagnostic tools like spirometry, FeNO measurement, and allergy testing.
• Personalised Treatment Plans: Medication management (including inhalers, antihistamines, or antibiotics if needed) with clear instructions for home care.
• Parent & Child Education: Guidance on recognizing warning signs, proper use of medications, and when to seek further help.
• Trigger Identification: Assessment of environmental and lifestyle factors (dust, pollen, smoke, humidity) and practical strategies to reduce exposure.
• Regular Follow-up: Ongoing monitoring to adjust treatment as your child grows and their needs change.
• Reassurance & Support: We understand how stressful a persistent cough can be. We’re here to support your family every step of the way.
