A tosse é provavelmente o sintoma mais frequente na criança e, consequentemente, um dos principais motivos de consulta em pediatria. Os mecanismos e as causas da tosse na criança diferem das do adulto e, por esse motivo, é necessária uma diferente abordagem diagnóstica e terapêutica. Este artigo de revisão abrange a fisiopatologia da tosse na criança, as causas mais frequentes, a avaliação diagnóstica inicial e a orientação terapêutica.
