What are the treatments for allergic cough in children?

Cough in children is a relatively common disease. So what are the treatments for allergic cough in children? When treating children's allergic cough, you must be careful to choose the correct method and select a treatment method suitable for the child based on the child's symptoms. You can choose drug treatment to treat the disease, which will be helpful for the treatment of the disease. Let us learn about it.

Although cough variant asthma is usually not life-threatening, it should be diagnosed early and treated actively because it can develop into typical allergic asthma and the disease can seriously affect children's sleep, rest and learning.

Once cough variant asthma is diagnosed, antibiotics or antiviral drugs should be stopped, and care should be taken to avoid contact with allergens. Especially for primary prevention of asthma in children with cough variant asthma, anti-allergic probiotics can promote the secretion of IFN-γ in spleen cells, promote and enhance Th1 cell response, and play a certain anti-allergic preventive and therapeutic effect.

The treatment principles for cough variant asthma are the same as those for typical asthma, mainly focusing on eliminating allergic inflammation in the lower respiratory tract, including desensitization therapy, antiallergic drugs, and anti-inflammatory treatment with inhaled corticosteroids. Specific treatment plans such as antiallergic drugs such as levocetirizine, desloratadine, and mast cell stabilizers such as Nedocromil and sodium cromoglycate can also achieve good results, but they often need to be used continuously for more than 2 months. The dosage of inhaled corticosteroids can refer to the treatment plan for mild persistent asthma. Continuous inhalation is usually required for 5-7 days. After the airway inflammation is controlled, the cough symptoms may gradually decrease or disappear. Inhaled corticosteroids should be continued for at least 3 months to avoid relapse. If the cough is severe, bronchodilators such as inhaled or oral β2 receptor stimulants and/or oral theophylline drugs can be used if necessary to temporarily relieve cough symptoms.

I hope the above introduction to the treatment methods for allergic cough in children can help everyone. While choosing drug treatment, parents should also take good care of their children, especially paying attention to dietary conditioning, mainly light food, and paying attention to indoor ventilation to avoid worsening of the disease.
