Everyone coughs from time to time. Whether you have something stuck in your throat or you\u2019re just getting over a cold, a short-term cough can be an annoying but easily ignored symptom. However, when coughing persists for longer than eight weeks<\/a>, it may be time to see an ENT provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chronic coughing is one of the most common reasons for healthcare visits. It is usually a symptom of another condition, rather than a condition itself. Occasionally, however, it may present without an underlying cause. A few symptoms you may notice alongside chronic coughing include a stuffy or runny nose, heartburn, sore throat<\/a>, fever and postnasal drip (mucus dripping into your throat from your nostrils).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Contact your healthcare provider if you experience more serious symptoms, including but not limited to weight loss, coughing up blood or phlegm, long-lasting hoarseness, excessive sweating, wheezing or shortness of breath. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSymptoms of Chronic Cough<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
