Acute Cough <3 weeks Differential Diagnosis(CAUSES) • Upper Respiratory Tract infections(URTI):
Viral syndromes, sinusitis , pertussis • URTI triggering exacerbations of Chronic Lung

COPD 1. Chronic Bronchitis : defined clinically as Productive cough (cough with sputum
expectoration ) in a chronic smoker for at least 3 months a year during a period of 2 consecutive years with exclusion of other causes of productive cough .
2. Emphysema : defined pathologically as an abnormal permanent
enlargement of air spaces distal to the terminal bronchioles, accompanied by the destruction of alveolar walls without obvious fibrosis.

• Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) refers to
acid reflux, or backward flow, of stomach acid and other contents into the esophagus. If stomach acid moves backward up the esophagus, reflexes result in spasm of the airways that can cause shortness of breath and coughing. In some individuals, no sensation of heartburn is felt and their only symptom may be cough. Diagnostic tests: • 24-hour esophageal pH probe (best) • OGD – Esophagogastrodudenoscope
Therapeutic trial: gastric acid suppression with proton pump inhibitor (e.g. omeprazole) for ≥ 2 months, combined with diet and lifestyle modification

Hemoptysis
• Coughing up blood, irrespective of the amount, is an alarming symptom and patients nearly always seek medical advice. A history should be taken to establish that it is true hemoptysisand not hematemesis, or gum or nose bleeding.
• Hemoptysis must always until this is excluded .
be assumed to have a serious cause
• It
Massive Hemoptysis: is coughing of about 600ml blood/24 h

History• A history of repeated small haemoptysis is highly suggestive of
bronchial carcinoma.Fever, night sweats and weight loss suggest tuberculosis.•
• Pneumococcal pneumonia often causes 'rusty'-colouredsputum but can cause frank haemoptysis, as can all suppurative pneumonic infections including lung abscess.
• Bronchiectasis can cause catastrophic bronchialhaemorrhage,
• pulmonary thromboembolism is a common cause ofhaemoptysis and should always be considered.
