The child with persistent cough
Del Med J.

Abstract
Coughing is a healthy reflex. Causes of a cough can vary from minor upper respiratory illnesses to malignancy. When a child's cough continues for weeks, parents worry. Primary care providers must decide when reassessment is needed and if a vigorous workup and referral to a pulmonologist are required. The above discussion should assist these physicians.
