What is an allergic cough and the reason behind it?
Allergic cough is the one caused by the hypersensitive reaction of the immune system to an allergen. Allergen is a substance that tends to trigger an allergic response specifically in those persons who are sensitive to it and doesn’t have any effect on any other person. In the case of allergies, the body reacts to the allergens by activating mast cells. These cells release histamine, which causes allergy symptoms, including cough. A cough caused by an allergy usually lasts from days to months. It begins as soon as the person gets exposed to allergens and remain till exposure to allergens continue. It can be attended with a runny nose, sneezing, watery eyes, itchy throat, and sore throat. Fever doesn’t appear in an allergic cough. The appearance of fever is indicative that cough is due to some infection and not allergies.
What are the trigger factors?
It can be triggered by many allergens, out of which main are dust, pollens, pet danders, and mold. Apart from this cigarette smoke, air pollution and chemical fumes also can trigger it. These allergens tend to cause irritation and swelling of the airways resulting in cough. People have suffered from this complaint during some specific seasons or in some environments. It tends to run in families.

Cough starts and continues even when thinking to talk. Example: While on phone call, even though you are not replying. Ex-2 while playing keyboard though you are not singing but thinking to sing the tune, cough aggravates predominantly.

KFor Allergic choronic cough at night bset medicion
Hello Dr Sharma,
I use many Homeopathic meds to help manage many of my needs. I have a Binge Eating Disorder and I eat sugary foods and carbs in the middle of the night. It wakes me up with a horrible cough and I cannot go back to sleep until I take a benedryl and now started taking Histaminum pretty sure I am allergic to something in those foods or the laying down while sleeping. I cannot get relief until taking a Histamine and peppermint tea. Then the next day my throat is raw. What can I take for the throat and it being sore after.
thank you
Cindy
