Abstract
 
PURPOSE: Cough is one of the most common symptoms of respiratory tract infections and it is a frequent problem encountered in general practice leading to a medical consultation. The annual prevalence of cough in the general population is reported as 10- 33%. Although acute cough which is usually associated with respiratory viral infection is not a problem to manage, chronic cough is frequently a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge as it does not respond to usual treatments. There are many studies that show the use of NSAIDs for the treatment of cough.Moreover cough often requires treatment with antitussives as it could have a great impact on quality of adults’ life.

Abstract

BACKGROUND:

Acute cough is one of the most frequent symptoms prompting a visit to a health care provider, usually following a viral upper respiratory tract infection (URTI). The disproportionate use of antibiotics in children with URTIs, recently highlighted in the medical literature, could lead to associated side effects, without any beneficial effect. Although an early, albeit inappropriate, antibiotic prescription increases parental satisfaction, URTIs are predominantly viral infections and are generally self-limiting. Therefore the aim of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of antibiotics compared to symptomatic drugs (central and peripheral antitussives) on URTI-related cough in a pediatric population.

Abstract

Cough is the one of the most common respiratory symptoms for which medical attention is required and may have a great impact on quality of adults' life, thus often requiring an empiric treatment with antitussive agents .There are evidence that NSAIDs are also used to improve cough concerning common cold.
