[Otorhinolaringologyc approach of the chronic cough. Clinical case].

Abstract

Chronic cough is defined as that which is persisting at least for trhee weeks without an evident cause. It is very common on the otorhinological practice to receive patients with chronic cough in order to rule out that their chronic cough is not produced because of an alteration in the high respiratory system. We show a clinical case with chronic cough and we make reference to the physical exploration, diagnostical method, and possibilities of medical and surgical treatment.
