It is important to recognise that a persistent cough is not normal and should be investigated. Assessment of chronic cough should be undertaken differently for children and adults, requiring a focused history of the chronic cough to elicit any “red flag” cough pointers that may indicate underlying disease.

Updated for the first time in more than a decade, the Cough in Children and Adults: Diagnosis, Assessment and Management (CICADA) Guidelines were published in the Medical Journal of Australia in November 2023. Join our expert panel to hear more on the updated evidence and advice, including:

• Clinical algorithms for diagnosis and assessment of chronic cough in both adults and children
• Practical advice for implementation of the Guidelines in primary care
