Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

4 to 6 weeks: A chronic persistent cough should be further evaluated. Please see your PCP if the cough is not resolving in another week. If there are signs of a new infection or signs of worsening respiratory status, please see the Emergency room. Nasal saline rinses will help to reduce post nasal drip.
