Symptoms of allergic cough in three-month-old babies

There are many reasons for coughing, such as alternating hot and cold temperatures, and dust allergies in spring and summer, which may cause allergic coughs in babies.

What is the main reason?

The season change is the peak season for allergic coughs in children, which often manifests as lingering coughs, even wheezing, and repeated attacks. Parents always think that this is due to the baby's poor physical constitution causing repeated colds, so they have taken a lot of cold medicines, and some have even received a lot of anti-inflammatory injections, but the effects are not good.

In fact, a large proportion of children who are believed by their parents to have repeated colds actually have allergic coughs. Allergic cough in children is also known as cough variant asthma. The cause is relatively complex and is affected by both genetic and environmental factors. Allergic constitution is closely related to the disease, which is also affected by environmental factors such as contact or inhalation of dust mites, cockroaches, fur, pollen or cold air, seafood and other foods.
