Case reports and case series were included due to the paucity of data in the literature on SSLR. A comprehensive search of Embase and MedLine was performed.

Antibiotics were more associated with SSLR in children than in adults (P<0.01). Beta-lactam antibiotics, particularly amoxicillin (72.1%), were the leading implicated agents.

Beta-lactams are the most common implicated agents, particularly in pediatric populations. Systemic corticosteroids may provide relief, but standardized guidelines for diagnosis and management are needed.

Intervention targets refractory or unexplained chronic cough, and efficacy has been studied in randomized controlled trials. Key elements of cough control therapy include education, anticipation, and control of the urge to cough, reducing laryngeal irritation and psychoeducational counseling. Our understanding of the mechanisms behind the success of nonpharmacological treatment is developing.

In recent years, efforts have intensified to elucidate the mechanisms underlying chronic cough and to focus on investigating and treating refractory chronic cough (RCC). A “treatable trait” approach, which focuses on identifying and addressing the specific associated causes of chronic cough, has gained traction. In some patients, RCC is likely driven by a neuropathic mechanism due to dysregulation of the neuronal pathways involved in the cough reflex, often clinically described as cough hypersensitivity syndrome. Although the initial treatment of underlying conditions remains central to managing treatable traits, the therapeutic options for RCC have expanded to include targeting cough hypersensitivity. First-line treatments now include neuromodulators and speech therapy with one P2X3 receptor antagonist (gefapixant) recently licensed in the European Union, United Kingdom, and Japan. Despite these advances, patient responses remain variable, underscoring the ongoing need for research into the pathophysiology and treatment of RCC.
