As the temperature gradually rises in spring, everything recovers, but at the same time, allergic coughs also enter a high incidence period. During this period, the number of allergens in the environment increases, and the weather changes greatly, making allergic coughs more likely to occur frequently.
Allergic cough refers to coughs caused by contact with allergic substances such as pollen and dust. The clinical manifestations are repeated and persistent dry coughs, which often occur in the early morning, at night or after exercise. At present, the better relief method is to stay away from allergens, and anti-allergic drugs can also be used under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, more attention should be paid to avoiding contact with allergenic substances and receiving professional treatment in time to avoid worsening of the condition.
Three questions about children's allergic coughs?
1. What is an allergic cough?
Allergic cough is a chronic dry cough lasting for more than or equal to 8 weeks. Its patients have clear atopic factors, including peripheral blood eosinophil count, serum total IgE and specific IgE antibodies. However, the lung function and airway reactivity tests of these patients are normal. Most patients may have an increase in sputum eosinophils. Bronchodilators are ineffective in treatment, but they respond well to histamine and glucocorticoid treatment.
2. The difference between ordinary cough and allergic cough
Long-term cough may be allergic cough. Allergic cough is dry cough without sputum. It will cough with wheezing when the weather or environment changes. Ordinary cough has sputum, and drug treatment is effective. Allergic cough can be diagnosed by auscultating the lungs to hear widespread wheezing during breathing.
3. Improve allergic constitution and enhance immunity.
Once allergic cough is diagnosed, antibiotics or anti-disease substances should be stopped, and care should be taken to avoid contact with allergens. Allergic cough is mainly caused by respiratory inhalation allergens such as dust mites, dust mites, cold air, pollen, etc., so in most cases it is impossible to avoid contact. Therefore, supplementing with the corresponding anti-allergic probiotics Xinminkang has a good regulatory effect on adjusting allergic constitution and reducing respiratory sensitivity, especially for primary prevention of asthma in children with allergic cough, which can induce and promote Th1 cell response and restore the correct immune response. For children who have repeated attacks after stopping medication, allergens should be identified in time, effective preventive measures should be taken, and the increase of immunoglobulin E (IgE) should be focused on. The serum value of IgE in the body can be reduced by supplementing with anti-allergic probiotics Xinminkang.
The treatment methods for allergic cough are as follows:
1. Remove allergens, avoid the stimulation of cold air, or change the living environment to remove allergens in the air;
2. Increase the body's resistance. Cold water can be used to stimulate and clean the nasopharynx in winter and spring. You must wash your hands, nose, nasal cavity and mouth after going out;
3. In case of acute attack, you should treat it as variant asthma, with local inhaled drugs or oral cough suppressants, etc. If there is a concurrent infection, you should add anti-inflammatory and antibacterial drugs.
