简要总结
Chronic cough is when a cough persists for more than 8 weeks. Chronic cough is a common and distressing condition, that significantly impacts the quality of life. This impact on quality of life will be calculated using the Leicester cough questionnaire, and a baseline total score will be calculated. Patients will be given individualized Homoeopathic medicine based on the symptoms and by repertorisation using S.R. Phatak’s "A Concise Repertory of Homoeopathic Medicine". After 6 months total score in the Leicester Cough questionnaire will be calculated, and assessed after 6 months of medical intervention.
