CASE:
A 75-year-old man with a history of hypertension, diabetes, and
environmental allergies, presents to the office with a complaint of
persistent dry hacking cough that does not improve with over-the-
counter treatment with antitussives and allergy medications. The
man reports that he has had the cough for 3 months and is tired
of the coughing spells he experiences. His medical history reveals
that he started taking lisinopril 6 months before this appointment,
has taken an over-the-counter allergy medication for several
years, and his blood pressure today is 150/92. Other medications
include metformin XR 500 mg daily, aspirin 81 mg once daily, and
loratadine 10 mg daily. The physical exam is negative for any
issues other than his mild neuropathy from long-term diabetes.
The cough is noted to be dry and hacking as the patient has
described. The man is not in acute distress.
