PURPOSE OF REVIEW Otolaryngologists are vital to successfully managing chronic cough in adults. This review presents updates regarding rapidly evolving concepts in chronic cough. RECENT FINDINGS Significant growth is occurring in chronic cough research, strengthening the evidence of its major psychosocial impacts. Elucidation of the neural underpinnings of normal and abnormal cough within both the peripheral and central nervous systems highlight the previously underappreciated complexity of cough. Recent clinical practice recommendations emphasize personalized treatment approaches through addressing treatable traits of chronic cough. Investigations are ongoing to better distinguish chronic cough subgroups, and multiple types of important clinical outcome measures are being characterized. Newer research about chronic cough treatment encompasses pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic interventions, including oral and inhaled medications, superior laryngeal nerve blocks, and behavioral therapy. SUMMARY As knowledge about chronic cough in adults continues to expand in both research and clinical practice, otolaryngologists can continue to raise awareness of the role of the larynx in cough and promote ongoing multidisciplinary collaborations. In the coming years, more pharmacologic options and personalized treatment approaches will likely emerge for chronic cough.
