How to treat cough caused by allergic rhinitis in babies

When babies have allergic rhinitis, it can cause symptoms such as increased nasal secretions and runny nose, which may flow back into the throat through the posterior nasal cavity, thereby irritating the throat and causing coughing symptoms. At this time, active anti-allergic treatment is required, such as staying away from pathogenic factors, drug treatment, etc., and symptomatic treatment is also required if necessary.

1. Avoid contact with pathogenic factors

1. Get away from allergens: Parents should try to take their babies to live in an environment with good air quality. When going out, they can wear masks to prevent the inhalation of dust or pollen in the air from aggravating the condition. It is also necessary to keep the indoor air circulating to avoid the breeding of bacteria and viruses. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to properly adjust the diet structure, mainly light and easily digestible food, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, supplement vitamin C and a variety of trace elements, and promote the body's recovery.

2. Remove allergens: If the allergic reaction is caused by pet hair, you need to send the pet to another place for breeding, or clean its hair in time. If it is caused by dust mites, you need to pay attention to regularly clean the bedding and sheets, or use a vacuum cleaner to clean the dust on the floor.

2. Drug treatment

1. Antihistamines: For mild patients, usually only antihistamines are needed, such as loratadine syrup, cetirizine hydrochloride drops, etc., which can relieve nasal congestion.

2. Leukotriene receptor antagonists: Suitable for children with moderate to severe disease. Their main function is to relax bronchial smooth muscles and inhibit the release of inflammatory mediators. Commonly used drugs include montelukast sodium chewable tablets, etc.

3. Decongestants: Furoxen nasal drops, normal saline and other drugs can also be given for nasal drops treatment, which helps to reduce the congestion and edema of the nasal mucosa.

4. Hormone drugs: If the above methods are not effective, you need to take mometasone furoate cream, budesonide inhalation aerosol and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor to improve the condition. These drugs have certain anti-inflammatory effects and can help effectively control the disease.

5. Others: Some Chinese medicines can also be used as auxiliary treatments for this disease, such as Tongqiao Rhinitis Granules, Xiangju Capsules, etc., but the medications must be strictly followed according to the doctor's orders.

III. Other measures

If the baby's normal sleep, eating, etc. are affected by long-term cough, you can use cough and expectorant drugs under the guidance of a doctor when necessary, such as pediatric lung heat cough and asthma oral liquid, ambroxol oral solution, etc., to improve the symptoms.
