What is an allergy cough?

As the name suggests, an allergic cough or allergic bronchitis is a term commonly used to describe a fit of coughing caused by allergies. This occurs simultaneously when a patient is exposed to allergic substances and may also occur when the person is suffering from a common cold or an allergic reaction. Unlike the common cold that is caused due to viral infections, allergic cough occurs during certain seasons and when you are in a particular environment. The presence of allergens are the main cause for allergic cough. Treatment of such affliction can easily be provided by a general physician or an experienced pediatrician in case of allergic cough in child.

Allergy Cough Symptoms

Sinus and middle ear infections mostly accompany an allergic cough. These are considered as indirect effects rather than direct allergic cough symptoms. The most common symptoms that are visible during an allergic cough is that it can last for as long as the allergies are present in the body and the signs are generally immediate, as soon as the patient is exposed to allergens. Incase your child are suffering from prolonged coughing, it is advisable that you visit the best pediatrician or child specialist.
