Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess whether a 5-day treatment with orally administered prednisone provides patient-relevant benefits by improving the cough-related QoL of patients with post-infectious cough triggered by an Upper Respiratory Tract Infection (URTI) and seeking care in adult primary care practices. The study aims to describe an efficacy and safety profile for a 5-day prednisone treatment compared to a 5-day course of placebo.
