To relieve symptoms of allergic cough, measures such as avoiding allergens, taking antiallergic medications, and drinking plenty of water can be taken.
Allergic cough is a common allergic reaction, usually not severe and does not cause serious harm to the body.
Symptoms of allergic cough include coughing, itchy throat, dry throat, and sore throat. These symptoms may affect sleep and daily activities, leading to fatigue and poor mood. To relieve symptoms of allergic cough, measures such as avoiding allergens, taking antiallergy medications, and drinking plenty of water can be taken. It is important to avoid contact with allergens such as pollen, dust, and pet dander as much as possible. If allergic cough persists or symptoms are severe, antihistamines or corticosteroids—such as chlorpheniramine tablets or loratadine tablets—may be used under medical guidance to alleviate allergic symptoms. Additionally, drinking sufficient water helps relieve throat dryness and pain.
Moreover, under a doctor's guidance, cough suppressants or pain relievers may also be used to manage allergic cough. Patients are advised to stay away from allergens in daily life. If symptoms persist without improvement, prompt medical attention is recommended.
