Brief Answer: Physical examination... Detailed Answer: Hi, Before stepping into investigations, a detailed clinical examination of throat, lungs and abdomen is essential. Persistent cough can be from chest causes, abdominal causes and from nasopharyngeal causes. Hence you need to be examined thoroughly before proceeding towards investigative tests. Consult a chest physician. You can proceed to investigations later. Hope this answers your question. Let me know if you need clarifications. Regards
