Symptoms of Allergic Cough

The main symptoms of allergic cough include the following: 1. **Dry cough**: Usually characterized by an irritating, dry cough, which may be long-term and paroxysmal, worsening in the early morning and at night. Symptoms may intensify after physical activity, with little or no sputum production. 2. **Throat symptoms**: Such as throat itching, foreign body sensation in the throat, or a feeling of tightness and blockage. 3. **Associated symptoms**: May include symptoms of allergic rhinitis, such as nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, and nasal itching, or symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis, such as itchy and watery eyes. 4. **Difficulty breathing**: In severe cases of allergic cough, bronchospasm may occur, leading to shortness of breath, rapid breathing, or wheezing. 5. **Recurrent episodes**: Allergic cough typically lasts for a prolonged period and may recur frequently, with symptoms significantly worsening upon exposure to allergens. If you experience any of these symptoms, prompt medical attention is recommended.
