Child allergic cough, how to treat it?

Allergic cough, also known as cough variant asthma in modern medicine, is a special manifestation of bronchial asthma and the first cause of chronic cough in China. In recent years, the incidence rate in allergic cough is on the rise, which refers to a special type of asthma with chronic cough as the main or only clinical manifestation. Paroxysmal cough is the main symptom in the early stage of asthma, which mostly occurs at night or early morning. Often irritating cough, often induced by inhalation of irritating odor, cold air, contact with allergens, exercise or crying after upper respiratory tract infection. Most children are often misdiagnosed as bronchitis, mycoplasma infection or pneumonia. It is clearly believed that allergic cough is a form of asthma, and its pathophysiological changes, like asthma, are also persistent airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness.

Allergic cough in children is a very common and incurable disease. Mainly manifested as fear of cold, sensitive to cold air, pollen, dander, leading to repeated cough, persistent cough, and even allergic asthma in severe cases.

Pathogenesis of allergic cough in children

Western medicine believes that allergic cough in children's allergic cough refers to the release of IgE-mediated mediators (mainly histamine) and the participation of various immunocompetent cells and cytokines after allergic infants are exposed to allergens, which is a non-infectious inflammatory disease of respiratory mucosa. The immune system IgE immunoglobulin of allergic cough children is 1- 10 times higher than normal. These high IgE will disturb the immune system of human body, make it sensitive, and lead to allergic cough.

Simply put, it is the allergic reaction of allergic babies to certain things, such as mites, dust and other substances. The typical symptoms of the so-called allergic cough are: long-term intractable dry cough, which is mostly induced after exercise, cold air inhalation and upper respiratory tract infection, aggravated at night or early morning, no wheezing during physical examination, lung function damage between normal people and typical asthma, and skin allergen test can be positive.

Therefore, children with allergic cough's disease should be vigilant and treated as soon as possible.

At present, there are four main ways to deal with allergic cough:

One: find and avoid contact with allergens.

Allergens need professional examination, including skin prick, patch test, blood antibody detection and so on. If allergens can be identified and separated from contact, then the existence of allergens is the source of all allergic diseases. It is generally believed that pollen and grass are the main culprits of asthma in allergic cough, but in fact, the types of allergens vary from place to place. Grass, for example, can only be seen in northern China. Dust mites are the first culprit in allergic cough, accounting for far more than pollen and grass.

Try to avoid or reduce exposure to allergens, such as: do not spread carpets indoors, do not use suede sofas, often remove indoor dust and bed dust, do not eat suspicious allergic foods, try not to use pesticides and air fresheners, and avoid contact with cigarette smoke.

There are only a few things that cause allergic cough. If they can avoid contact, allergic cough's symptoms will not break out. However, it is impossible for us to live in an environment without allergens.

Second: allergic drugs.

Usage of antihistamines: Before the symptoms related to histamine disappear, it is generally not suitable for long-term oral administration. Only used to treat and control histamine related symptoms (long-term cough, sneezing, runny nose, etc.). ) at the beginning of the attack. Dose adjustment of allergic cough in different degrees.

Usage of glucocorticoids: Hormones can obviously improve the four symptoms, especially for cough, which is better than antihistamines and can be used to prevent allergic cough's attack.

Third: microecological immunity and antiallergic.

Allergic cough in children is called allergy, that is, the disease is cured slowly because of allergic constitution. It needs long-term conditioning to cure and avoid recurrence.

910 of the human body is composed of microorganisms. Microecology and human immune system are innate and complement each other. The human immune system is established and perfected in the confrontation with microecosystem. Without microecosystem, there is no immune system. If the microecosystem is not perfect, the immune system will not be perfect, and people will be allergic. More and more clinical evidence supports the benefits of probiotics to human body. Probiotics can alleviate intestinal permeability, enhance intestinal specific IGA response and promote intestinal defense barrier. The regulation of probiotics on microecological flora can improve the prognosis of allergic cough.

Xinmin Kang antiallergic probiotics combined with five patented antiallergic probiotics, namely Lactobacillus salivarius, Lactobacillus Grignard, Lactobacillus yoelii, lactobacillus paracasei and Lactobacillus Roy, all have significant antiallergic functions, among which Lactobacillus salivarius is the most researched isolated strain of antiallergic lactic acid bacteria. Lactobacillus salivarius, Lactobacillus Grignard, Lactobacillus yoelii and lactobacillus paracasei form five compound antiallergic strains, which significantly reduce the individual differences of antiallergic functions compared with a single antiallergic strain.

Fourth: self-care methods: pay strict attention to cold, heat, cold and sweat.

Cold is the cause of this disease. A cold can lead to qi stagnation and blood stasis, the vital qi can not be suppressed, the disease resistance is low, and the immune function is out of balance. Kick off the quilt when sleeping, the air conditioner is too cold, wear inappropriate clothes, use cold drinks and cold air, which goes without saying. But sweating is a worse cold. Because sweat pores open when sweating, just like opening a window; Sweat comes out of wet clothes, evaporates and dissipates heat, and the cold is almost in the body. Therefore, it is very important to protect the contradiction between cold and sweat. Dress in time, keep warm without sweat; Change clothes after sweating.
