Symptome - Syndrome
Akuter und chronischer Husten – Differenzialdiagnose und Behandlung

Husten ist ein häufiger Konsultationsgrund in der hausärztlichen Praxis. Meist ist das Symptom harmlos und selbstlimitierend wie z.B. bei einem banalen Erkältungshusten – jedoch können auch schwerwiegende Erkrankungen wie Malignome die Ursache sein. Die Abklärung ist daher nicht immer einfach. Dieser Beitrag stellt ein gezieltes und angemessenes Vorgehen dar und diskutiert, welche Behandlungen empfohlen und effektiv sind.
