Chronic cough - (pronounced) (KRAH-nik kof) cough that lasts 8 weeks or more. It can occur along with other symptoms, including a runny or stuffy nose, extra mucus in the throat, wheezing, shortness of breath, or heartburn. A chronic cough can be caused by allergies, sinus infections, asthma, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or other conditions. It can also be caused by smoking tobacco or inhaling second-hand tobacco smoke for a long period of time. It usually improves when the problem that caused the cough is treated. For example, a chronic cough may get better when a person stops smoking
