Research Notes on Post-viral Cough

When a cough persists for longer than eight weeks after a viral respiratory infection (flu or common cold), it is known as post-viral cough.1 If you have previously suffered from post-viral cough, you are likely to have a recurrence. Post-viral cough may also be resistant to different treatments.2

Fast Facts:

  • Post-viral cough is commonly confused with bronchospasm.3
  • This is a clinically recognized condition in Europe, but is lacking in studies in America.2
  • Consuming large amounts of non-alcoholic beverages, using a humidifier, and using OTC cough medicine may help relieve the cough.4
