A 32 yeаr-оld wоmаn seeks evаluatiоn for cough that has been present for four months. She reports that the cough is present day and night. It awakens her from sleep and is worse in the early morning hours. She also notes the cough to be worse in cold weather and after exercise. She describes the cough as dry and has no associated shortness of breath or wheezing. She gives no antecedent history of an upper respiratory infection that proceeded the onset of the cough. Her only medication is norgestimate/ethinyl estradiol (an oral contraceptive pill). On review of systems, she reports intermittent itchy eyes and runny nose that is worse in the spring and fall. She denies post nasal drip and heartburn. Her physical examination findings are normal with the exception of coughing when breathing through an open mouth. Spirometry demonstrates a forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) of 3.0 L (85% predicted), forced vital capacity (FVC) of 3.75 L (88% predicted) and FEV1/FVC ratio of 80%. After administration of a bronchodilator, the FEV1 increases to 3.3 L (10% change). What would you recommend next in the evaluation and treatment of this patient?
