A 14-year-old male initially presented to the Emergency Department (ED) for a chronic, persistent cough and chest pain with concurrent history of asthma and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). He had been trialed on several medications before this visit for cough, without resolution of symptoms. Despite seeing several specialists after this ED visit and being evaluated for infectious causes and other pulmonary issues, he was eventually found to have eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). It is not often that EoE is suspected based on cough alone, but with other GERD-like symptoms EoE should be considered.
