Abstract
To the Editor: The recent publication in this Journal of the position statement summary on cough in children and adults is welcome and timely.1 Much has changed in the understanding of chronic cough since the last Australian guideline was published in 2010, reflected not least in the recent approval in Europe of gefapixant, the first successful drug developed specifically for chronic cough.2 Compared with other international guidance on cough,3, 4 the unique strength of the current document is the separation of evidence-based strategies for children and adults, and for a local readership, a focus on Australian First Nations people, who have been underserved specifically regarding chronic wet cough.1
