1. Persistent Cough: The most obvious sign of a chronic cough is a persistent cough that lasts for weeks or even months. This cough can occur at any time of the day but may worsen during the night or after meals.

2. Mucus Production: Chronic cough often involves the production of mucus or phlegm, which can be clear, white, yellow, or green.

3. Shortness of Breath: Individuals with chronic cough may experience shortness of breath, especially after physical activity.

4. Chest Pain: Persistent coughing can lead to chest pain or discomfort.

5. Fatigue: The constant effort of coughing can result in fatigue and a lack of energy.

7. Sleep Disruption: The persistent nature of the cough can disrupt sleep patterns, leading to insomnia or daytime fatigue.

1. Postnasal Drip: This is a common cause of chronic cough, where the body produces excess mucus, which then drips down the back of the throat, triggering a cough reflex.

2. Asthma: Asthma-related coughs are often accompanied by wheezing and shortness of breath.

3. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): GERD can cause stomach acid to flow back into the esophagus, causing chronic cough.

4. Chronic Bronchitis: This is a type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that results in a long-term cough with mucus.
