What should I do if my child keeps coughing and has allergic rhinitis?

When children cough repeatedly and have allergic rhinitis, the symptoms can be relieved through general treatment and medication. Parents are advised to take their children to the hospital in time for targeted treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

1. General treatment

1. Diet adjustment: If the child's immunity is relatively low, he or she is easily affected by the external environment and induced to develop diseases and cough symptoms. In daily life, you can eat fresh fruits and vegetables appropriately, such as apples, bananas, spinach, etc., which can supplement the vitamin C needed by the body and have certain benefits for the condition. In addition, you should also pay attention to drinking plenty of water and avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, such as peppers, garlic, etc.;

2. Physical therapy: If a child's cough is caused by factors such as cold air or dust, you can use a humidifier to increase the humidity indoors and keep the room well ventilated, which will help reduce the dryness of the respiratory mucosa and improve the symptoms of coughing.

2. Drug treatment

1. Antihistamines: If children have allergic reactions caused by contact with allergens such as pollen and dust mites, they usually have symptoms such as sneezing and runny nose, accompanied by itchy skin, redness and swelling. At this time, they can take drugs such as loratadine syrup and cetirizine hydrochloride oral solution under the guidance of a doctor, which can play an anti-allergic role and relieve the above discomfort symptoms;

2. Cough suppressants and expectorants: If coughing is accompanied by symptoms of sputum, you can take drugs such as ambroxol oral solution and Feili cough mixture as prescribed by your doctor. These drugs can help dilute the sputum, promote sputum discharge, and thus relieve cough symptoms.

In addition to the relatively common methods mentioned above, auxiliary treatment can also be carried out through nebulization inhalation. Commonly used drugs include budesonide suspension, terbutaline sulfate nebulization inhalation solution, etc.
