Answer
Allergic cough is usually categorized as cough variant asthma, a type of concealed asthma characterized by cough as the main symptom. Treatment should include avoiding contact with allergens, actively treating and clearing infection sources, eliminating triggers such as smoking, paint, cold drinks, and sudden climate changes. During an attack, medication can be used to relieve bronchial smooth muscle spasm, reduce mucosal edema and inflammation in the airways, and promote mucus excretion. Medications such as Cough Clear Tablets and Prochlorperazine Tablets can be taken. In everyday life, it is important to prevent colds and avoid strenuous exercise.
