Chronic cough, defined as a cough lasting more than eight weeks in adults or four weeks in children, can be a symptom of various underlying conditions and may have several side effects. The side effects of chronic cough can be broadly categorized into physical, psychological, and social impacts. Repeated coughing can cause pain in the chest, ribs, abdomen, and back muscles. Constant coughing can lead to exhaustion and fatigue due to the physical effort and interrupted sleep. Persistent coughing can strain the vocal cords, leading to hoarseness or voice changes. Stress incontinence, particularly in women, can be aggravated by chronic coughing. Increased pressure from coughing can cause headaches. Frequent coughing can sometimes lead to small amounts of blood being coughed up.
