Abstract

WHAT IS THIS COUGH? - THE BURDEN OF UNRECOGNISED SIDE EFFECT OF MEDICATION USE

Yovwin D. G.*, Mabiaku T. O., Umukoro D. and Anyanwu E. B.

ABSTRACT

Cough is a natural action of the body aimed at clearing the airway of any foreign irritants in the airway, which could be infective or otherwise. This natural response is often intermittent and is usually not sustained. Even cough from infective source, the response to an active and potent medication is often evident and rewarding. The question thus is; what happens when the cough is due to a medication which is been taken to treat another condition and this adverse reaction was not recognized? Such patient is therefore subjected to a barrage of needless investigations that often revealed nothing, the burden of several expensive medication to treat the cough, yet the cough persisted, as the offending medication was still been regularly taken as prescribed. We hereby report one such case, the eventual recognition of the causative problem and response to proper management.
