Cough In The Athlete

In adult and adolescent athletes (≥12 years of age) complaining of acute or recurrent cough, we suggest to initially evaluate for the most commonly reported causes of cough in this group such as asthma, exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB), respiratory tract infections (RTIs), upper airway cough syndrome (UACS) due to rhinosinus conditions, and environmental exposures related to the sport training environments.
