Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
The treatment methods for allergic cough in children mainly include the following: 1. Eliminate allergens: Identify and remove potential allergens that the child may have been exposed to, such as dust, pollen, etc., to relieve cough symptoms. 2. Medication: Administer oral antiallergic medications, such as cetirizine, loratadine, etc., which can effectively alleviate allergic symptoms. For children with severe coughing, cough suppressants such as children's phlegm-resolving and cough-relieving granules, Chuanbei枇杷 syrup, etc., may be used under a doctor's guidance. 3. Immunomodulatory therapy: Children with allergic cough can also undergo immunomodulatory treatment to enhance their immunity and reduce allergic reactions. During treatment, parents should closely monitor changes in the child's condition and seek medical attention promptly if necessary.
