1. Irritating odor (including chemical odor of cold air, smoke or paint, dichlorvos, air freshener, perfume, automobile exhaust, etc.) or contact with allergens such as bed dust and dust mites can be aggravated; It will get worse after strenuous exercise or laughter;
2, the attack is often related to the environment or time, such as aggravation in the morning and evening or at night, aggravation at home, and outdoor relief;
3. Chronic cough for more than two months without cause, accompanied by paroxysmal irritating dry cough or a small amount of white foam-like sputum; When a child coughs badly, nausea or vomiting will occur.
4. After the cough is relieved, there is no obvious abnormality in auscultation, chest radiograph or CT examination.
5, not accompanied by fever, may be accompanied by itchy throat. Multiple antibiotics are ineffective.
6. 40% of patients may be complicated with allergic rhinitis symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose or stuffy nose, and children may also rub their noses and eyes. Many doctors abroad call it allergic rhinobronchitis.
How to treat children allergic cough?
1, symptomatic treatment
Antiallergic drugs such as chlorpheniramine and ketotifen can also be used as bronchodilators, such as salbutamol and aminophylline, which can temporarily relieve cough symptoms. For patients with recurrent attacks after drug withdrawal, allergens should be identified in time, effective preventive measures should be taken, and immune conditioning treatment should be coordinated if necessary. Parents should be fully aware of their children's allergic cough and avoid giving their babies adverse reactions such as excessive abuse of cold medicine.
2, immune conditioning therapy
In allergic cough's disease, the immune response in human body will reduce the number of TH 1 cells. Stimulated by allergens, a variety of cytokines are continuously produced, such as increased IgE and eosinophils, which promote the immune response to TH2 pathway and form humoral immune response. Supplementing Xinmin Kang, an antiallergic probiotic, to children with asthma in allergic cough can enhance their antiallergic ability, and regulate TH2 immune response which is overreacted due to allergy by enhancing TH 1 immune response. Modern medicine has proved that allergic constitution is closely related to intestinal immune microecology, and abuse of antibiotics will make allergies more stubborn. Supplementing Xinminkang anti-allergic probiotics can improve intestinal microecology, further promote the development and repair of immune system, reduce allergic specific antibody IgE, balance Th 1 and Th2 immune response, and reduce allergic recurrence. The earlier it is applied, the better the effect will be.
Step 3 Practice methods
According to allergic cough's pathological analysis, it is because the patient contains allergens. When the patient's constitution and immunity decline, allergic constitution appears, and the adaptability to allergic substances decreases, leading to allergic symptoms. Therefore, physical exercise can enhance physical fitness, improve immunity, enhance the adaptability to allergic substances, and also achieve the purpose of treatment.
4. Diet therapy
The general principle of taking care of any sick child is a delicious, light and nutritious diet. Because irritating food will aggravate cough, so eat less salty, sour and spicy food. Give a warm diet, noodles and soup are good. Do not eat cold food and drinks, and stay away from ice cream, ice cream and iced soda. When coughing, the rapid airflow takes away the moisture of the respiratory mucosa, and inflammation leads to the lack of water in the mucosa. Pay attention to supplementing fluids to children. If you have a fever, your body fluid consumption will increase because of sweating. So, drink more water and eat more fruits.
