What Is a Chronic Cough?

A chronic cough is defined as a cough lasting longer than 8 weeks in adults. While occasional coughing is normal, a persistent cough often points to an underlying issue that requires proper diagnosis.

Common causes include:

• Asthma
• Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
• Postnasal drip (upper airway cough syndrome)
• Chronic bronchitis
• Allergies
• Respiratory infections

Why Chronic Cough Evaluation Is Important

A chronic cough is not something to ignore. Without proper evaluation, symptoms can worsen and impact your quality of life.

At our Vienna, VA clinic, chronic cough evaluation and testing helps:

• Identify the exact cause of your symptoms
• Prevent progression of respiratory conditions
• Rule out serious lung disease
• Provide a clear, effective treatment plan
• Restore comfort, sleep, and breathing

Our Approach to Chronic Cough Testing and Evaluation

NovaPulmonary offers a comprehensive, step-by-step diagnostic process tailored to each patient.

Detailed Medical History

We review your symptoms, triggers, medications, and environmental exposures to understand potential causes.

Physical Examination

A focused exam evaluates your lungs, airways, and upper respiratory system for signs of inflammation or infection.

Pulmonary Function Testing

Breathing tests measure lung performance and help diagnose conditions such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Chest Imaging

If needed, we use advanced imaging such as chest X-rays or CT scans to get a detailed view of your lungs.

Allergy and Sinus Evaluation

We assess for postnasal drip and allergic triggers that commonly cause chronic coughing.

GERD (Acid Reflux) Assessment

Acid reflux is a frequent cause of chronic cough. We evaluate whether digestive issues are contributing to your symptoms.

Advanced Diagnostic Testing

For more complex cases, additional testing may include bronchoscopy or specialized respiratory studies.
