Description
David Streem and three colleagues report a case of severe chronic cough that nearly vanished on a low-dose opioid drug, in a paper dated twenty twenty-six. The cough had lasted over eight weeks and resisted standard checks and care, a pattern called refractory chronic cough. Such coughs can wreck sleep, work, and daily life, and proven options are few. The patient took buprenorphine under the tongue at low dose. This drug partly activates opioid receptors, which may make it safer than full opioids. The authors urge formal study.
