Summary

This study tests whether a parent-filled online questionnaire can help doctors better diagnose the cause of chronic cough in children. 400 children aged 3-18 with a cough lasting at least 2 weeks will be split into two groups: one where doctors use the questionnaire results and one where they don't. The goal is to see if the tool leads to more accurate first diagnoses and better treatment.
