In this episode, experts discuss the challenges of diagnosing and managing refractory chronic cough—a persistent cough that is often misunderstood and mismanaged. Drawing on findings from a recent CHEST/GSK survey, the conversation highlights gaps in patient evaluation, current treatment barriers, and opportunities to improve care through standardized protocols, better history-taking, and greater awareness of emerging therapies.
