Allergic cough: symptoms
A child’s health depends on many factors. And recently, very often, parents are faced with a phenomenon such as an allergic cough, the causes of which can be very different. In most cases, it is very difficult to make a diagnosis: an allergy, a cough in which can lead the doctor on the wrong path, will lead to the fact that the prescribed treatment will not bring the expected effect. It is possible to distinguish between the symptoms of whooping cough and bronchitis from an allergic cough, but only by observing what surrounds the child: how the symptom manifests itself, what factors affect the intensity, what is the nature of the manifestations. If there is no temperature and discharge of sputum, as well as pain in the chest, but the child has been prone to diathesis since childhood, then we can say that this is an allergic cough. The resources of a small organism are still small. And the load on the liver (on its detoxification function) can give symptoms characteristic of an allergic cough. Constant attacks exhaust the child, he begins to complain of a lack of air and constant soreness in the throat. To alleviate the condition of the baby, you should seek the advice of an allergist as soon as possible (for testing for irritants, after which a comprehensive treatment for allergic cough will be prescribed).
Causes of an Allergic Cough
If the child has a reaction to the coat and saliva of animals, then constant contact with them will cause relapses: even being under the same roof can provoke an allergic cough attack, causing the child pain. In addition to pets, allergic manifestations can give a dream on a down pillow, so it is better to replace it with a synthetic one. Allergies are seasonal, so the child’s reaction to a long stay in an enclosed space, for example, in winter, will give intense symptoms. In summer, an
allergy to flowering plants is possible. If the attack is stopped by antihistamines, then it is urgent to start treatment for allergic cough.
What will be the process?
Always treatment for allergic cough should begin with an allergy test (to further isolate irritants from the child). Not only food can give a reaction, but also the dust that accumulates in bedding and carpets. Therefore, constant wet cleaning is one of the conditions for alleviating the condition of a sick child. During a full-time examination, the allergist prescribes a treatment regimen with antihistamines with restorative agents. In this case, the child needs a sparing diet that removes the burden on the liver, because it is known that it is responsible for the neutralization of all harmful substances entering the body. The treatment of allergic cough includes constant walks in the fresh air, mandatory sanitation and ventilation of the living room. It is best to remove pets from the apartment, since in the presence of an allergy to wool, the disease itself will never go away. Only a strict adherence to the advice of a doctor will help alleviate the condition of the child and minimize the
manifestations of allergic cough.
