Cough syndrome in early childhood is one of the most frequent clinical symptoms in pediatric practice and remains a significant diagnostic challenge. In infants and young children, cough may be associated with a broad spectrum of pathological conditions, ranging from acute respiratory infections to allergic disorders, congenital anomalies of the respiratory tract, and chronic inflammatory diseases. The immaturity of the respiratory system, age-related anatomical and physiological characteristics, and limited ability of young children to communicate symptoms complicate the timely identification of the underlying cause of cough.
This article aims to analyze modern approaches to the diagnosis of cough syndrome in early childhood. Particular attention is paid to the evaluation of clinical manifestations, the role of detailed medical history and physical examination, and the use of contemporary laboratory and instrumental diagnostic methods. A comprehensive and differentiated diagnostic strategy is emphasized as a key factor in improving diagnostic accuracy and ensuring appropriate clinical management of pediatric patients.
