The causes of
coughing
are multiple. Research into the physiology of
coughing
has established that interactions amid C-fibers and rapidly activating receptors in humans have the most significant effect on stimulation of
coughing
. Precipitants of
coughing
include gastroesophageal reflux and sinusitis. Stimulation of vagal afferents by
esophageal irritation
and aspiration of acidic gastric contents or vapors are the most frequently cited causes of
cough
associated with gastroesophageal reflux or laryngopharyngeal reflux. Sinusitis may precipitate
coughing
from other mechanisms including aspiration of postnasal drainage and sinopulmonary reflex. Taking a lesson on how these conditions affect asthmatic patients, this article will review how these two conditions may also influence
cough
in normal patients.
