Overview

This section provides a short and straight to the point overview of the disease or symptom. The first sentence of the overview must contain the name of the disease.

Causes

Life Threatening Causes

Life-threatening causes include conditions that may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.

Common Causes

Acute cough (less than 3 weeks)[1] Subacute (3 to 8 weeks) or chronic cough (3 to 4 months)[2]

Isolated cough: otherwise healthy child

Diagnosis

The approach to diagnosis of Cough in children is based on a step-wise testing strategy. Below is an algorithm summarising the identification and laboratory diagnosis of Cough.[3][4]

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Order Chest X-ray or spirometry (if child is able to perform)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Consider the diagnosis of Bacterial bronchitis
 
 
 
Consider the diagnosis of Asthma
❑ History of bilateral wheeze and exertional dyspnea
❑ Absence of other cough symptoms
❑ Absence of findings on lung examination
Reversible obstructive defect or normal finding on spirometry (if performed)
 
Consider the diagnosis of Retained foreign body
❑ History of choking or sudden onset of symptoms
❑ Monophonic or unilateral wheeze
❑ Chest X-ray finding suggesting foreign body
 
Consider the other type of cough
Tracheomalacia
Pertussis
Habit cough/ tic cough (typically absent at night or when distracted and may be honking or short/dry)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Antibiotics for 2 to 4 weeks
 
 
 
Trial of Asthma therapies for 2 to 4 weeks
 
 
Perform tests to confirm the diagnosis and treat as appropriate
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Cough resolves
❑ Likely bacterial bronchitis
❑ Reassess in 3 to 4 months to confirm that child remains well
 
Productive cough continues after 4 weeks
❑ Consider the diagnosis of:
 
Asthma Improved
❑ Continue treatment
Asthma not improved
❑ Reassess for other causes of cough
 
No foreign body
❑ Reassess for other causes of cough

Treatment

Shown below is an algorithm summarizing the treatment of [[disease name]] according the the [...] guidelines.
