“…When children with GOR and cough have been examined for inflammation in the lower airway, it was protracted bacterial bronchitis and not reflux that was associated with the cough [29, 30]. Sinusitis, post-nasal drainage and upper airway cough syndrome have also been attributed as causes of chronic cough, but the association of radiological evidence suggestive of sinus inflammation is most likely simply the result of simultaneous inflammation of the upper and lower airway rather than representing an aetiological relationship [31]. Post-nasal drip and the upper airway cough syndrome also lack credibility [32, 33].…”

Key pointsHabit cough is most commonly characterised by a repetitive loud barking cough that persists for prolonged periods.The cough interferes with normal activity and substantially decreases the quality of life.The sine qua non is the total absence of this troublesome cough once asleep.The age distribution ranges from 4 years to late adolescence, with 85% of cases occurring from 8 to 14 years of age; similar cough in adults is much less common and poorly characterised.Pharmacological treatment is ineffective.A simple behavioural approach called suggestion therapy has been applied with success by many physicians.The natural history in the absence of treatment can result in persistence for months to years.Educational aimsTo increase awareness of functional cough as a non-organically caused symptom in children and adolescents.To provide the means of diagnosing a functional cough based on the distinguishing characteristics of this cause of chronic cough.To understand the principles of treating a functional cough with a simple behavioural technique called suggestion therapy.SummaryInvoluntary cough without an identified underlying organic reason has been given various names and recommended treatments. Current experience in children and adolescents suggests that “habit cough” best describes this entity, and suggestion therapy is a highly effective treatment that most physicians can learn.

“…It has been suggested that allergic rhinitis and sinusitis are associated with cough that results from postnasal drip and irritation of the larynx, although the evidence behind this is lacking 119 120. The typical adult symptoms of sensation of secretions dripping down the posterior pharynx from the back of the nose and frequent “throat clearing” type of cough may be difficult to elucidate from a child.…”

“…Pemeriksaan penunjang yang lebih baik terhadap sinusitis adalah skintigrafi sinus para nasal. 20 Dari penelitian ini disimpulkan bahwa penyakit alergi lain yang pernah dialami anak dengan asma adalah rinitis alergik, dermatitis atopi, urtikaria, dan konjungtivitis. Disarankan penelitian lebih lanjut tentang hubungan rinitis serta sinusitis dengan asma.…”
