Chronic Cough Evaluation
Chronic cough is a persistent cough lasting more than eight weeks and may indicate an underlying respiratory or systemic condition. Dr. Pankaj Gujar offers a comprehensive and structured Chronic Cough Evaluation to accurately identify the root cause and provide targeted treatment.
The evaluation begins with a detailed medical history, including duration of cough, triggers, associated symptoms, lifestyle factors, and past illnesses. A thorough clinical examination is followed by appropriate investigations such as chest X-ray, spirometry (lung function test), allergy assessment, blood tests, and when required, CT scan or bronchoscopy.
Common causes assessed include asthma, allergic rhinitis, post-nasal drip, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), chronic bronchitis, infections, smoking-related lung disease, and environmental or occupational exposure. Based on the diagnosis, Dr. Gujar designs a personalized treatment plan focusing on symptom relief, control of the underlying condition, and prevention of recurrence.
With a patient-centric approach and advanced diagnostic expertise, Dr. Pankaj Gujar ensures precise evaluation and effective management of chronic cough, helping patients regain comfortable breathing and improved quality of life.
