Abstract: Objective: To explore the correlation between chronic cough and postnasal drip syndrome(PNDS) in children. Method: A retrospective study was carried out among 75 cases of postnasal drip syndrome. Results: Chronic cough was the main complaint but no obvious lesions were found in the throat, trachea and branches, however, definite lesions were determined in the nasal cavity and/or paranasal sinuses including chronic rhinitis, nasosinusitis, allergic rhinitis and adenoiditis. 30 cases were misdiagnosed as repetitive respiratory infection, bronchitis, variant asthma, foreign bodies in the respiratory tract, or pneumonia, and in 13 cases a diagnosis was missed. Conclusion: Postnasal drip syndrome can be cured following effective treatment.
