Chronic cough is a common condition that affects up to 10% of adults and, not surprisingly, is encountered by healthcare workers in all fields of clinical practice.Chronic cough can coexist with or without pulmonary and extrapulmonary conditions and can be refractory to therapies that generally improve these associated conditions.Often chronic cough is not associated with any detectable disease. The basis of chronic cough is now attributable to a state of cough hypersensitivity characterised by increased cough responses to stimuli that affect the airways and vagally innervated tissues as well as by excessive cough responses to innocuous stimuli.This may be caused by neuroinflammatory and neuropathic mechanisms at both peripheral and central levels. This new concept of chronic cough has impacted on our approach to diagnosis and management. The management of chronic cough starts with the exclusion of associated conditions, followed by use of speech and language therapy and of neuromodulators.There is increasing interest in developing new antitussive neuromodulators with the introduction of blockers of the ATP receptor P2X3 in the clinic. With this significant progress in our understanding of mechanisms and new treatments, chronic cough is now being considered a disease entity of its own.
