How does allergic rhinitis in children cause cough?

There are many causes of allergic rhinitis in children, and coughing may be related to nasal diseases and throat diseases. When children suffer from the above diseases, contact with allergens can induce the body to produce a corresponding immune response, which in turn leads to the occurrence of coughing symptoms.

1. Nasal diseases

1. Nasal mucosal edema: If the child has allergic rhinitis, pollen and other substances may irritate the nasal mucosa, which may cause the blood vessels in the nasal cavity to dilate, causing symptoms such as nasal congestion and runny nose, and may also be accompanied by sneezing. As the disease progresses, it may even lead to decreased or lost sense of smell. At this time, it is necessary to cooperate with the doctor in time to use mometasone furoate nasal spray for treatment.

2. Reflux of secretions: If children with allergic rhinitis do not pay attention to strengthening care, it is easy to cause congestion and swelling of the nasal mucosa, affecting the normal ventilation function, so symptoms of difficulty breathing and nasal itching will occur. If not corrected in time, it may also cause irritation to the throat, followed by coughing. At this time, you can take montelukast sodium granules, loratadine syrup and other drugs for treatment according to the doctor's advice.

2. Diseases of the throat

1. Acute pharyngitis: usually caused by pathogen infection, or due to overwork, hoarseness, dry cough, fever, etc. can occur after the disease. At this time, antiviral oral liquids such as acyclovir tablets and ribavirin granules can be used for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

2. Bronchitis: Clinically, it is mainly chronic inflammation, which may be caused by long-term smoking or dust irritation, which will cause repeated coughing, sputum and wheezing. At this time, you need to actively cooperate with the doctor to use drugs such as ambroxol hydrochloride oral solution and dextromethorphan hydrobromide sustained-release capsules for treatment.

3. Pneumonia: Usually caused by bacterial or viral infection, it can cause high fever, fatigue, lack of appetite, severe pain, night sweats, etc. Once pneumonia is diagnosed, it can be treated by intravenous injection under the guidance of a doctor, such as the use of antibiotics such as ceftriaxone sodium and azithromycin injection to improve the condition.

4. Other situations: In addition, tonsillitis can also cause this situation. It is recommended that parents take their children to the hospital for treatment and complete relevant examinations to confirm the diagnosis.

In daily life, we should take measures to keep warm and avoid catching cold. We should also pay attention to a reasonable diet, try to eat light food, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, which can supplement the nutrients needed by the body and are beneficial to health.
