The center intends to use these newly updated services to provide Connecticut residents with long-term relief from the multiple underlying health conditions that cause coughing and cold-like symptoms. Among the various ailments that can lead to a prolonged cough are respiratory infections such as pneumonia and bronchitis, allergies, asthma, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

With this treatment update, Patients Medical offers a holistic approach to treating a patient's recurring cough by targeting the originating problem. A specialized physician at the center can issue a saliva test to check for bacterial or viral infections, or an allergy test to get a comprehensive report of potential allergies that could be causing a patient's cough.
The underlying issues that can cause a prolonged or recurring cough range from mild, such as dust allergies, to severe, such as lung cancer. Since a cough can be a symptom of so many different issues, it is imperative to understand the root cause and treat that, rather than simply suppress the cough itself. The best treatment for pneumonia, for example, is vastly different from the best treatment for stomach acid reflux.
Patients Medical provides integrative and holistic care that focuses on the root cause of a patient's illness. A physician at the center will start with a thorough consultation with the patient which covers their medical history, current medications, and the severity and type of symptoms they are experiencing. From there, the complementary physicians at Patients Medical will collaboratively create a personalized treatment plan.

"There are several reasons why functional medicine is needed in healthcare today," said one spokesperson for the clinic. "One main reason is that chronic diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, and autoimmune disorders, are becoming increasingly prevalent and conventional medicine is not always effective in treating these conditions. Functional medicine addresses the root causes of these diseases, rather than just treating symptoms, which can lead to better long-term outcomes for patients."
