Cough in the post-COVID period: causes of the emergence and treatment approaches

One of the most common complaints at a primary care doctor's appointment is a cough. During the period of increased incidence of acute respiratory viral infections, the number of patients with cough complaints increases. In the period after the pandemic of the new coronavirus infection, there has been an increase in patients with long-term persistent cough, which they associate with COVID-19. This phenomenon can be attributed to the "post-COVID syndrome", which is currently being actively studied. The issues of a systematic approach to the search for causes and a personalized choice of treatment tactics are relevant.
