What's that nagging cough? Chronic cough is one of the most common reasons for patients to see a physician. Coughing interrupts sleep, producing fatigue and impairing concentration and work performance. In a new podcast commissioned by the Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology Committee, Christine Blanche Franzese, MD, Mark R. Gilbert, MD, and Thomas L. Carroll, MD, discuss the differential diagnosis for chronic cough as well as the work up. They also review various treatments for chronic cough and spend time discussing new treatments on the horizon for chronic cough.

Published literature on allergic rhinitis (AR) has expanded substantially in recent decades. This daunting amount of new literature may be overwhelming for the busy clinician and contribute to inertia. Fortunately, the International Consensus Statement on Allergy and Rhinology: Allergic Rhinitis was published in early 2023 and can help aid otolaryngologists in tackling this formidable mountain of evidence. In this podcast, commissioned by the AAO-HNS Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology Committee, Christopher Brook, MD, one of the ICAR: Allergic Rhinitis 2023 authors, interviews Sarah K. Wise, MD, ICAR: Allergic Rhinitis 2023 editor. Hear more about the new recommendations and topics in comparison to the previous ICAR: Allergic Rhinitis from 2018.
