Cough for allergies

Among the most common and unpleasant symptoms of disturbances in the work of the immune system in case of allergy is cough. As a rule, getting rid of this manifestation of the disease is difficult, because the usual bronchodilators are ineffective or weak.

Whether there is a cough at an allergy?

The contact with the mucous membranes and blood of substances called histamins provokes the body to get rid of them by any natural means, one of which is a cough. Allergens cause the expansion of blood vessels, capillaries, and, as a consequence, stagnation of blood in them and swelling. Because of this mechanism, a reflex cough appears, necessary to excite the stimulus along with the mucus that is separated from the surface of the oral cavity, bronchi and lungs. Often it is temporary, paroxysmal.

However, allergies and cough do not always manifest simultaneously. Usually this symptom accompanies immune reactions to insect bites, animal hair, household or chemical dust. If histamine is food or medicine, cough occurs 3-4 days later, more often at night.

What to treat a severe dry cough with allergies?

First of all, it is important to limit any contact with the pathogen. Further methods of treatment consist of such activities:

• taking antihistamines (Suprastin, Loratadine, Fenkarol, Telfast, Diazolin, Erius);
• inhalation with anti-allergic solutions;
• a course of bronchodilators with expectorant effect;
• correction of the diet;
• vitamin therapy;
• immunomodulation.

Allergists for coughing recommend the administration of antihistamines through inhalation. It is proved that this method of therapy makes it easier to relieve the described symptom in 10-15 minutes after the beginning of the procedure. Moreover, the effect after inhalation lasts longer.

In especially severe cases, painful and exhausting cough, corticosteroid hormones can be prescribed in the form of infusions (injections) or injections. Typically, the course of treatment is short, not more than 5 days, since these drugs have a wide range of side effects, greatly affect the functionality of the adrenal cortex.
