[Article in French]
V David et al. Arch Pediatr. 2001 Aug.

Abstract

Treatment of chronic cough should always be etiologic. Recurrent viral infections are the most frequent problem. Utilisation of antitussive drugs must be limited, of short duration and without contraindications. Antitussive medications are classified in opiate and nonopiate, with central or peripheral action.
