An Approach to Cough

An overview of a diagnostic framework and algorithm for approaching a patient who presents with either acute or chronic cough. Etiologies discussed include upper airway cough syndrome, cough-variant asthma, and laryngopharyngeal reflux, among many others. I also discuss indications for a chest X-ray in a patient presenting with cough.

[@janajaber4505]

Veryyy informative thakyouu!

[@koala10ish]

Thank you for your explanation. I do have a non-stop and non-deep coughing triggered only when the temperature drops below 65F often when I am sitting. It often starts with non-deep tickling feeling (just where the trachea splits) leading to the compelling desire to cough. It's often a short cough but at times it goes on and on with intermittent pauses. It stops when I move around and do some physical work. I am based in Belgium and would really appreciate if you PROMPTLY recommend any simple relief medication. Thanks, Paul

[@rohankapur3845]

Another great lecture Dr. Strong! What would be the timeline to differentiate acute vs subacute vs chronic cough?

[@aishaa.1369]

Less than 3 weeks = acute
More than 8 weeks = chronic
Subacute = between 3-8 weeks

[@sambhavi007]

Just one word -WOW...!!

[@aymanewalker7201]

can u please tell the name of this model or the book he is using

[@demohamed6220]

thanks, please do more of pulmonary symptoms videos

[@StrongMed]

2 more pulmonary videos coming next week.

[@caterscarrots3407]

From a person who has had acid reflux for years and had it stop a few years ago, I'd say that GERD includes Laringopharyngeal reflux because this is what happened with me:
Stage 1: Asymptomatic, most common stage
Stage 2: Increased gas in the stomach that can go on for hours, most often it would stop here
Stage 3: Nausea and the feeling of the reflux getting higher and higher up, past the esophagus and almost towards my mouth. This is when things got bad for me as the Acid Reflux nausea induces a strong feeling of thirst that goes on for hours, even when fully hydrated and, if I gave in to the thirst(which I often did), this would bring me into Stage 4 within minutes
Stage 4: Vomiting and Cough, if I drank water before, no heartburn, if I didn't, bad heartburn
It stopped on its own several years ago, and I'm very glad that it spontaneously resolved. Since then, if I felt like I was having acid reflux, it was usually a bad case of Gastroenteritis or more colloquially, a "Stomach Virus" or "Stomach Flu".

Exellent

[@MonaSax-ir6cw]

Would asthma be considered a type of seasonal allergie?

[@derozerr4856]

Is Pulmonary Tuberculosis same as pneumonia?
My professor said they weren't but didn't explain. Anyone knows?

[@StrongMed]

The terminology is confusing. Pulmonary tuberculosis is one of many potential causes of *chronic* pneumonia. However, when a person uses the term "pneumonia" in routine conversation without a modifier (i.e. acute vs. chronic), they are usually implying acute pneumonia, which TB doesn't cause.

[@alexherrmann1989]

Please do an approach to Abdominal pain

[@StrongMed]

Abdominal pain is definitely on the list, but probably won't get to it until late spring.

[@gitanjalirizwan6508]

For voice clear not hoarseness voice plz help

[@RasishSubedi]

I was wondering you didn't add tuberculosis?

[@StrongMed]

It's considered under "pneumonia" (e.g. bacterial vs. viral vs. fungal vs. mycobacterial)

[@RasishSubedi]

Strong Medicine okay I get it.. thank you sir.. your videos are really helpful

I wish he was teaching rather than reading from a script

[@StrongMed]

Thanks for your comment.
I agree - I'd rather be teaching than reading a script too! Unfortunately, true teaching requires your audience to be live so that interaction and engagement are possible. I make these videos partially so students and other learners can learn independently, if they are not enrolled in a school or program that covers the material. But I also make them so that my students can watch them at home, which then frees up more in-class time for myself and other teachers to facilitate discussion and practice (rather than lecture).
And I do use a script for this style video because if I accidentally leave something out and don't realize it until I'm editting, it is an enormous pain to fix it (my video setup time is 1.5 hrs). Unfortunately, CZcams disabled annotations a while back, which could previously be used as a quick fix.
If the style of video that you prefer is a person on camera who physically writes on a whiteboard while talking (i.e. speaking from an outline rather than a script), that's totally fine. Najeeb and Online MedEd are the best that I know of who use that particular style.

[@g-mannG]

I agree that his style can be monotonous at times, but the information he provides is solid gold. Najeeb is good but sometimes he takes a lot of time to come to the point and not all videos are factually sound.
