Abstract: Chronic cough(CC)is a common respiratory disorders,with prevalence rates as high as 10%～20%.The burden of CC can be severe,as patients with CC experience substantial physical effects(e.g.,stress urinary incontinence,sleep disturbance,and chest pain),psychological consequences(e.g.,frustration,anxiety,and depression),and social impairments(e.g.,social distress/isolation and reduced quality of life).As a result,CC is a frustrating conundrum for patients and clinicians.In this paper,combined with the new concepts of domestic and foreign literature,we expound the concept of CC,epidemiology,pathogenesis,etiological structure,clinical mani-festations and auxiliary examination,diagnosis and differential diagnosis,treatment,and future prospects,etc.,for peer reference and learn from,so as to promote more in-depth related clinical research.
