  5. Causes • An occasional cough is normal — it helps clear irritants and secretions from your lungs and prevents infection. • However, a cough that persists for weeks is usually the result of a medical problem. In many cases, more than one cause is involved. • The following causes, alone or in combination, are responsible for the majority of cases of chronic cough:

  6. Postnasal drip When your nose or sinuses produce extra mucus, it can drip down the back of your throat and trigger your cough reflex. This condition is also called upper airway cough syndrome (UACS).

  7. Asthma An asthma-related cough may come and go with the seasons, appear after an upper respiratory tract infection, or become worse when you're exposed to cold air or certain chemicals or fragrances. In one type of asthma (cough-variant asthma), a cough is the main symptom.

  8. Infections Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, which are commonly prescribed for high blood pressure and heart failure, are known to cause chronic cough in some people.
