The condition of the child, according to your description, should also consider allergic cough. The clinical diagnostic features of allergic cough are: chronic cough without a known cause for less than two months, paroxysmal, mild, irritating cough, or with a small amount of white foamy sputum; it can be exacerbated by inhaling smoke or paint and other chemical odors; it is ineffective with various different antibiotics, and chest X-ray or CT examinations show no obvious abnormalities. 40% of patients may also have symptoms of allergic rhinitis, such as belching, runny nose, etc.Advice: The treatment for allergic cough is similar to the treatment for asthma. The principle is to remove the cause, suppress recurrence, and prevent the disease from occurring. The cause of asthma is complex and is influenced by both hereditary and environmental factors. It is necessary to avoid allergens, actively treat and completely eliminate infectious foci, and remove various contributing factors, such as smoking, paint, cold drinks, and abrupt changes in weather. When asthma recurs, medications can be used to relieve bronchial smooth muscle spasm, reduce airway mucosal edema and inflammation, and increase mucus excretion.
