Expert Chronic Cough Care Focused on Root-Cause Treatment
A cough that continues for eight weeks or more is not “normal.” It is classified as a chronic cough, and in many cases, it signals an underlying condition that needs proper medical evaluation. At Lung Care Clinic, our Chronic cough treatment in Rawalpindi is centered on finding the real cause, not just suppressing symptoms. Chronic cough may be triggered by Asthma, Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), Post-nasal drip, Allergies, Smoking-related conditions, or airway problems such as chronic bronchitis. Under the supervision of Brig (R) Prof Muhammad Imran, we use advanced diagnostic tools and a systematic clinical approach to stop your persistent cough and restore healthy breathing.
