Clinical Approach to Acute Cough
Lung, 08/25/09
Boujaoude ZC et al. – Acute cough is among the most common symptoms for which patients seek medical attention. It accounts for millions of days lost from school and work and billions of dollars spent on medical care. Acute cough is defined as cough present for 3 weeks or less.

The most effective treatment for cough due to the common cold is a combination first–generation antihistamine plus decongestant.
