Baby cough diagnosed with allergic rhinitis

If your baby is coughing and is diagnosed with allergic rhinitis, you need to get rid of allergens as soon as possible, and then use anti-allergic drugs as prescribed by the doctor for treatment, and use cough suppressants to improve symptoms. Allergic rhinitis is a non-infectious inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa, mainly manifested by symptoms such as nasal itching, paroxysmal sneezing, clear runny nose, and nasal congestion.

1. Get rid of allergens:

If your baby's cough is caused by contact with allergens, you should immediately keep your baby away from allergens, such as pollen, catkins, animal hair, etc., to avoid recurrence of allergic rhinitis or aggravation of symptoms.

2. Anti-allergic drugs:

1. Antihistamines: You can use second-generation antihistamines such as loratadine syrup, cetirizine hydrochloride syrup, etc. as prescribed by your doctor. It is generally recommended to take it before your baby goes to bed, which can appropriately increase the metabolic rate of the drug in the body and help the drug to play a better role;

2. Mast cell membrane stabilizers: such as sodium cromoglycate aerosol, tronilast capsules, etc., can stabilize mast cells, inhibit the release of histamine by mast cells, etc., and improve the symptoms of baby's cough;

3. Leukotriene receptor antagonists: such as montelukast sodium granules, zafirlukast tablets, etc., can relieve nasal congestion symptoms, improve sleep quality, and take effect quickly;

4. Others: You can also use nasal decongestants as prescribed by the doctor, such as furan nasal drops, etc. Babies can also use normal saline to rinse the nasal cavity on a daily basis, which can also improve the symptoms to a certain extent.

3. Cough suppressants:

1. Chinese patent medicine: such as guaiac methyl anamin granules, etc., can relieve cough symptoms. If the baby's cough is accompanied by sputum, you can use ambroxol hydrochloride syrup under the guidance of a doctor to promote the discharge of sputum;

2. Western medicine: such as compound pholcodine oral solution, which can relieve cough and reduce phlegm.

Generally, parents do not need to be too anxious when their baby coughs. They should detect and treat the disease early. In daily life, they should also take good warming measures to avoid catching cold again and aggravating the symptoms.
