Children’s recurrent cough may be an allergic cough

Children’s recurrent cough may be an allergic cough.  Avoid the recurrence of your baby’s allergic cough. At the same time, in the treatment of allergic cough, under the guidance of a doctor, it can help the baby to be troubled by the disease as soon as possible.

Recently, many parents have discovered that more children are coughing. It is now at the turn of the seasons. Due to the changing weather, more and more people have runny noses and coughs. Especially for children, coughing is particularly obvious after going to school.

What is an allergic cough?

If the cough is always recurring, manifested as paroxysmal dry cough, take medicine to get better, but relapse as soon as the medicine is stopped, then beware of the possibility of allergic cough. 

Affected by seasonal changes, the growth of children always causes allergic cough. There are three reasons for children’s allergic cough:

First: genetic factors

According to genetic data, if both parents have no allergies, the child’s chance of having an allergic cough will generally not exceed 15%; if one of the parents has a history of allergies, then the child’s chance of developing an allergic cough will be lower. It will increase to 40%; Sure enough, both parents have allergies, then the probability of the child suffering from allergic cough is as high as 60%, which shows that genetic factors occupy a considerable part of the pathogenic factors of allergic cough .

Second: diet structure

In recent years, dietary problems have gradually become the main factor that induces cough in children. The dietary structure mainly includes the feeding method of children and the addition of complementary foods. If a child takes too much milk or soy protein feeding during breastfeeding, it will be more likely to induce allergic cough in childhood, especially for many children who adopt western lifestyle feeding, because they eat too much high protein and high protein. Fat and foods with a long shelf life greatly increase the risk of children with allergic cough.

Third: Imbalanced immunity

Most of the children who are still in the mother have a problem of imbalanced immunity, which usually lasts after birth. There are two kinds of cells closely related to allergies in our body-Th1 cells and Th2 cells. The existence of these two cells is complementary to each other. The former is responsible for producing interferon and helping the body improve self-resistance, and the latter is to guide itself. The immune system produces IgE antibodies, and the interferon produced by Th1 during the embryonic period can counteract placental toxins, thereby making Th2 relatively high. It can be seen that the child’s allergic physique may be innate; in addition, the cesarean section is certain. The degree will also affect the appearance of allergic cough.

Many parents have misdiagnosed and mistreated, and it is necessary to distinguish the difference between a cold and an allergic cough in time:

At first, many people will treat a cold with a child’s cough. They buy cold medicines and cough medicines. After taking them for a week or longer, they suddenly find that the symptoms seem to be getting worse. Only then will they go to the doctor for a comprehensive test and get allergies. Symptoms of cough.

Under normal circumstances, it should be noted that colds and coughs are mostly symptoms of bronchitis, and coughing will produce phlegm, but general allergic coughs are mostly dry coughs, which are related to the history of pollen allergies such as food and medicine.

Some parents will say that children have never been allergic when they were young, but they have only been prone to coughing after going to kindergarten and are identified as allergic cough. In fact, usually this Th2-dominated immune atopic physique requires a period of sensitization. Therefore, most of the occurrence of allergic cough does not gradually appear until one year after birth or school-age children, and some do not even develop until adulthood.

There are two immune cells in our immune system that specifically recognize antigens. They are T cells and B cells. When the intestinal probiotics are in disorder, it is easy to cause Th2 in T cells and IgE in B cells. Elevated, the increase of these two will activate mast cells, causing them to produce large amounts of histamine and cause allergies. Therefore, it is very important to maintain the balance of the intestinal probiotic flora.

In short, avoid the recurrence of your baby’s allergic cough. At the same time, in the treatment of allergic cough, under the guidance of a doctor, it can help the baby to be troubled by the disease as soon as possible.
