3. Figure 2
Approach to a child < 15 years of age with chronic cough. There are limitations to the algorithm, which should be read with the accompanying text. Spirometry can usually be reliably performed in children > 6 years of age and in some children > 3 years of age if trained pediatric personnel are present.81 CXR = chest radiograph.

4. Figure 3
Approach to a child ≤ 14 years of age with chronic specific cough (ie, cough associated with other features suggestive of an underlying pulmonary and/or systemic abnormality). Children > 14 years of age should be managed as outlined in adult guidelines, but there is no good evidence concerning where the age cutoff for treatment should be. TB = tuberculosis; TEF = tracheoesophageal fistula.
