Allergic cough is a type of cough associated with exposure to allergens, lasting more than one month, with an irritating dry cough, low sputum, often with nocturnal or early morning attacks, aggravated by exercise, and without clinical manifestations of infection, and characterized by recurrent attacks that are difficult to cure. The treatment of allergic cough is mainly to remove allergens and medication. The Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Chronic Cough in Children in China, developed by the Chronic Cough Collaborative Group of the Respiratory Branch of the Chinese Medical Association’s Pediatrics Branch in 2013, advocates the use of antihistamines and glucocorticoids for the treatment of pediatric allergic cough. Antihistamines eliminate and prevent immune responses and are used to prevent and treat episodes of the disease; glucocorticoids have highly effective anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects. For milder symptoms, oral anti-allergy drugs such as loratadine and cetirizine are used; for more severe symptoms, they can be combined with nebulized inhaled glucocorticoids such as budesonide. For specific medication, please refer to the doctor’s guidance. In addition, allergens should be identified in time to prevent the recurrence of the disease; during the illness, attention should be paid to rest and warmth; keep the room ventilated, dry and clean; avoid spicy and stimulating diet, avoid fish, shrimp and seafood. In Chinese medicine, Chinese herbal soup taken orally, acupressure and acupuncture are clinically effective for allergic cough. Acupuncture treatment often has a surprising effect on allergic cough. Allergic cough seriously affects sleep, work and study and should be diagnosed early and treated actively.
