Chronic non-productive cough is one of the most common non-specific symptom with multiple etiologies and is treated non-surgically. Rarely, it can be caused by anatomical causes. We present a case of parathyroid microadenoma presenting with chronic intractable cough and dysphagia, diagnosed after a battery of tests and failed treatments and cured by a simple parathyroidectomy.
