What to do if you have an allergic cough with phlegm

Allergic coughs often do not produce phlegm, and dry coughs are more common. Allergic coughs are accompanied by phlegm and sputum, so you need to remove the phlegm first. Then, when treating allergic coughs, patients should stay away from allergens and take some cough and phlegm-reducing drugs.

1. Maintain a clean and sanitary indoor environment . A humid environment is conducive to the reproduction of house dust mites, so pay attention to ventilation in the bathroom and kitchen, and remove all other items that can produce moisture (such as fish tanks). It is more important to reduce the number of dust mites in the bed because people spend the most time in bed. To this end, use a sealing cover or sleeve to cover the mattress and pillow. Regularly wash sheets, pillowcases, blankets, etc. with hot water or dry them in the sun. Avoid using carpets in bedrooms and do not cover furniture with textiles. And keep the room dry and well ventilated. Clean regularly and remove all kinds of debris, especially items that are moldy or prone to mold.

2. Reduce allergens, especially animal allergens. Try not to keep small animals at home, such as cats and dogs, and try not to visit the homes of relatives and friends who have pets.

3. Carry out pest control regularly. Insects such as cockroaches are also important allergens. Thoroughly clean the room and kitchen where there are insects, and spray insecticide when the patient is not indoors.

4. Reduce the inhalation of pollen and smoke . In the spring when flowers are blooming, it is best not to go out, especially during the day and in the afternoon. If you go out, you should wear a mask. Not only should you not smoke in the room, you should also advise family members and guests not to smoke.

5. Avoid indoor pollution and emotional excitement. When decorating your house, try to use paints and decorative panels that are harmless to the human body. People who are allergic should wait until the paint is dry before entering. If you encounter a tense, intense scene or an impulsive environment, you should not get involved in it for too long or for too long, and you should also avoid strenuous exercise.

6. Keep your body warm and avoid sudden exposure to cold air.

7. Do not wear clothes made of down or silk.
