In fact, allergic cough's treatment should not be hasty. First of all, we should understand the causes of allergic cough's illness, and then slowly recuperate the body from the inside out to have the hope of cure.
Etiology of allergic cough.
1. irritation of respiratory mucosa: irritation of respiratory mucosa is a very important cause of allergic cough. Besides allergic cough, it can also cause respiratory diseases such as rhinitis and asthma. Allergic cough has something to do with his allergies. Respiratory mucosa is susceptible to infection due to frequent stimulation from antigen substances, but its susceptibility is different, which is related to the number of mast cells in respiratory mucosa and the ability to release chemical mediators. It has been proved that the more mast cells, the higher their ability to release chemical mediators, and the easier it is for respiratory mucosa to be infected.
2. Genetic factors: Genetic factors are also the common causes of allergic cough's disease, which are not obvious in childhood, but the symptoms will be prominent in adulthood. Genetic factors are one of the causes of allergic cough, and most families in allergic cough have a family history of allergic reactions. Most of these families have a history of drug allergy and asthma. Such patients are called atopic individuals, and their ability to produce antibodies is higher than normal people. Statistics show that the incidence of twins is almost the same as that of the general population.
3, contact with allergens: In daily life, there are many allergens that cause allergic rhinitis. Once allergic patients are exposed to allergens, they will get sick. The main indoor allergens are dust mites, molds and insects. Outdoor allergens are mainly weeds, pollen and catkins. Some foods such as fish, shrimp, milk, eggs, etc. Or some contact such as cosmetics, gasoline, paint, alcohol, formaldehyde, etc. ; Animal fur and feathers are also common allergens.
4, bad habits, insomnia, staying up late, excessive fatigue.
5. Caused by respiratory virus infection. Studies have confirmed that airway inflammation induced by respiratory virus infection is one of the important causes of airway hyperresponsiveness in children with allergic cough, especially the strong pathogenic factors leading to allergic cough and allergic cough aged 2-6 years. Among them, mycoplasma pneumoniae is the most common.
How to treat allergic cough?
Allergic cough's repetition has always been a difficult problem in the medical field, and the only way to cure it is to recuperate the body.
External treatment-avoid allergens.
Allergic cough is due to the body's allergy to certain substances, which can cause a series of allergic symptoms. At present, allergic cough patients usually only receive treatment to relieve symptoms, and most of them have no clear allergens, which leads to repeated aggravation and prolonged healing time. Experts remind that the primary task of allergic cough patients is to identify allergens and avoid contact through allergen screening and testing.
Many patients report that they are prone to cough repeatedly when they get up in the morning. This is because dust mites and their corpse fragments, secretions and excretions hidden in bedding are easily scattered in the air and inhaled by the human body, which irritates sensitive respiratory mucosa. Some people are allergic to pollen, so it is recommended to wear a mask when going out. If they are allergic to animal fur, don't keep pets. Of course, food also has many food allergens, such as shrimp, crab, eggs, milk and so on. These all need attention.
In fact, there are thousands of common substances in life that may cause allergies. Coupled with the improvement of modern living standards, new allergens frequently enter people's lives, and people have the opportunity to travel, travel and vacation. It is also increasing, and the active area is also expanding, so the contact range of allergens is also increasing. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to prevent and avoid allergens.
2) Internal adjustment-microbial probiotics regulate allergic constitution.
When allergic cough occurs, the immune response in human body will reduce the number of Th 1 cells, and constantly produce a variety of cytokines to promote the immune response to Th2 pathway, forming humoral immune responses, such as the production of IgE and the increase of eosinophils.
There are three types of helper immune cells in human body: TH 1, TH2 and Treg. In normal people, TH 1 and TH2 are in equilibrium under the regulation of Treg. When the regulatory power of Treg is insufficient or the body is exposed to allergens, TH2 cells are overactivated, which will cause TH2 cells to secrete a substance called interleukin -4 to bind with B cells. Allergens in food (mostly foreign proteins) stimulate the human body, causing the human body to produce specific antibody IgE (immunoglobulin E), which is attached to mast cells or basophils in the body. When eating this food again, the IgE antibody will combine with the allergen in the food, so that the human body will produce the specific antibody IgE (immunoglobulin E) histamine to act on the blood vessels again, which will expand and increase the permeability, so that a large amount of protein and liquid will seep into the skin tissue, thus producing allergic cough. Clinical evidence shows that microbial probiotics can alleviate intestinal permeability, enhance intestinal specific IGA response and promote intestinal defense barrier. Regulating microecological flora by probiotics can improve the prognosis and allergic constitution of allergic cough.
Xinminkang antiallergic probiotics enter the intestine in a viable state, which is easily absorbed by dendritic cells on the human intestinal wall and stimulates spleen cells to secrete IFN-γ, thus improving the immune response level of TH 1 cells. In addition, supplementing a certain amount of Xinmin Kang anti-allergic probiotics can greatly reduce the IgE antibody in serum, inhibit TH2-type cellular immune response, and thus reduce the secretion of various inflammatory cytokines. Finally, it can reduce the production of non-specific respiratory inflammatory secretions. Through the application of Taiwan Province Medical Allergy Department to thousands of cases of respiratory allergy, it is proved that the anti-allergic probiotic formula strain can induce TH 1 immune response well and reduce TH2 immune response at the same time. This adjustment of immune function can keep away from allergies and improve allergic constitution.
(3) Prevention of daily care in allergic cough-
1, ensure a certain amount of sleep and rest, and do not participate in sports activities during the attack; In remission period, you can participate in appropriate outdoor activities to enhance the mechanism immunity, but you should avoid strenuous exercise.
2. Drink more warm water and pay attention to diet. When allergic cough patients fast cold creatures, they should have a nutritious diet and eat less and more meals. Especially for babies who insist on going to school, parents can bring some snacks and warm water to their children appropriately, and let them drink more water between classes.
Allergic cough is a respiratory disease, but it is also directly related to the body's immunity. If the body's immunity declines, patients will have serious symptoms, especially to prevent colds.
4. Avoid abusing antibiotics and cough medicine. Children's respiratory tract infections, especially preschool children, are mostly caused by viruses (90%), while bacterial infections are mostly secondary. Allergic cough is the most common cause of chronic cough, so parents should not use antibiotics without authorization, which may make their children's young bodies worse.
5, pay attention to keep indoor ventilation and proper temperature and humidity, avoid cold air stimulation and contact with dust mites, pollen, fur, food, drugs, etc. These are easy to cause allergies and avoid second-hand smoke.
