I cough when the weather is hot, and I cough when I breathe in cold air, but I don’t have a cold. What’s going on?

Allergic cough has always been the most troublesome and worrying problem for doctors and parents. The incidence of both allergic asthma and allergic cough in children is increasing every year. And the incidence of allergic cough and rhinitis is much higher than that of allergic asthma.

If allergic cough is not treated in time, it will cause asthma and cause trouble! You can try these methods

Allergic asthma is the most important and common companion disease of allergic cough. If allergic cough and its impact on allergic asthma are not fully understood, taken seriously, and not treated promptly, it is likely to trigger asthma.

Why will allergic cough develop into allergic asthma if not treated in time?

Allergic cough and asthma are both allergic inflammations, but the locations of the lesions are different. Because the upper respiratory tract mucosa and lower respiratory tract mucosa have anatomical continuity, including continuous mucosal epithelium and interconnected lumen, upper respiratory tract inflammation in patients with allergic cough can easily spread downward, leading to allergic bronchitis and asthma. At the same time, the upper respiratory tract of allergic cough patients and the lower respiratory tract of asthma patients have the same immune function defects, and the pathogenesis is also similar.

The incidence of asthma in patients with allergic cough is 4-20 times higher than that in normal people; as early as the 1960s, clinicians discovered that patients with allergic cough, which relapsed for a long time, were at risk of bronchitis. Possibility of asthma.

Modern epidemiology points out that the incidence of asthma in patients with allergic cough is 4-20 times higher than that in normal people; the incidence of asthma in the normal population is about 2%-5%. Recent studies have shown that 70%-90% of asthma patients are accompanied by allergic cough; 40%-50% of allergic coughs are accompanied by bronchial asthma. Some even believe that more than 60% of allergic coughs may develop into asthma or be accompanied by lower respiratory tract symptoms.

An important cause of asthma is allergens. The throat is the gateway to the respiratory tract. Patients with allergic cough are also particularly sensitive to certain allergens and cold air. For example, when pollen, dust, mites, mold spores and irritating gases are inhaled, type I allergic reactions can occur quickly. Patients can Symptoms such as coughing and sneezing suddenly appear, followed by autonomic nerve disorder, increased airway reactivity, bronchial smooth muscle contraction, and symptoms such as chest tightness, wheezing, and expiratory dyspnea soon appear.

It can be seen that allergic cough and asthma are two diseases with different manifestations caused by the same cause. It can also be said to be two different stages of one disease, that is, allergic cough is the precursor and asthma is the result.

The key to preventing allergic asthma lies in the correct treatment of allergic cough

1. Avoid contact with allergens: that is, avoid contact with substances that cause allergies;

2 , Use appropriate symptomatic drug treatment

For example, glucocorticoids. If the symptoms are severe and repeated, oral glucocorticoids can only be used for a short period of time. In addition, there are antihistamine drugs, leukotriene receptor antagonists, chromone drugs, anticholinergic drugs, etc. Although appropriate symptomatic drug treatment can alleviate the condition, it can only alleviate the symptoms. Once the drug is discontinued, the symptoms are likely to reappear.

3. Carry out immunological and anti-allergic treatment

The root cause of allergic cough is an imbalance of the immune system. Although traditional treatments can now medically detect allergens, our daily living environment and The social environment cannot be changed easily, so starting from yourself is actually the best way to combat allergies. Research has found that in children with allergic coughs and asthma or in the early stages of childhood allergies, Xinminkang anti-allergic probiotics with special effects can be supplemented to complete the change in the special immune function of allergic reactions. Probiotics are microorganisms distributed in all aspects of the human body. , not only the intestinal tract has microbial flora, there are rich microbial flora in the respiratory tract and skin, and these flora are involved in the process of allergic cough and allergic asthma. The homeostasis of the flora directly affects the course of allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma. Long-term treatment with inhaled hormones and anti-allergic drugs cannot affect the course and prognosis of asthma. Xinminkang probiotics with special functions solve the problems of traditional allergic disease treatment. In a dilemma, the strains contained in Xinminkang probiotics have the ability to enhance anti-allergy that is unknown in the prior art, and may be used to regulate the TH2-type immune response that is overreacted due to allergies by promoting the TH1-type immune response, becoming a method for intestinal Favorable scientific support for new findings that gut bacteria can fight allergic diseases in children with allergic rhinitis, allergic cough, cough variant asthma, allergic asthma, and even children diagnosed with wheezing bronchitis and asthma triggered by recurring respiratory infections Anti-allergic probiotics can be supplemented early to intervene in the IgE pathway mediated by intestinal microecology to inhibit the production of IgE allergic antibodies, thereby improving the course and recovery of allergic asthma in children and reducing the recurrence rate of cough and asthma.

4. Daily care

Pay attention to indoor hygiene. Dust mites are a major cause of allergic coughs. It is usually found in indoor dust, so parents should wash their children's clothes regularly and diligently, and dry the quilts in the sun. Avoid perfumes, aerosols, paints or other things with pungent odors; parents should not smoke at home to avoid asthma in their children and to prevent their family members from inhaling second-hand smoke.

Don’t get close to the crowds. Take your children less often to crowded public places to reduce the chance of infection;

Do not eat too much allergenic foods.

If a child is allergic, try to have the child eat less aquatic products. Eat a light diet and eat more foods containing vitamins; let your children drink plenty of water and avoid eating spicy, spicy, sour, fried, excessive protein and other asthma-inducing foods.

Exercise is essential. Exercise can improve immunity. You can make an exercise plan with your child. You can insist on participating in jogging, swimming and other sports. During exercise, you should make timely adjustments based on your child's physical condition and avoid excessive exercise. However, if you encounter severe weather such as strong winds and haze in spring, do not let your children go out to exercise. They can exercise indoors.
