Causes of irritating dry cough

1. Atopic constitution: genetic genes that make you susceptible to allergic cough, adverse factors during pregnancy (diet and environment), etc.

2. Inhaled allergens: pollen, indoor dust, dust mites, mold, animal fur, cockroaches, feathers, food, etc.

3. Respiratory tract infection: viruses, bacteria.

4. Food factors: foods that are prone to allergies, foods that are too salty or too sweet, food additives, stimulating foods such as alcohol, spicy foods, etc.

How to treat

1. Sublingual desensitization treatment

Sublingual desensitization therapy uses extracts of allergens to drip under the tongue to create tolerance in the respiratory mucosa, thereby alleviating or controlling allergic symptoms and achieving the purpose of desensitization treatment.

2. Desensitization patch treatment

The "injection desensitization" used in hospitals is a method of making allergens into an extract of a certain concentration, and repeatedly injecting patients with artificially prepared specific antigens in a gradually increasing dose and concentration, thereby gradually inducing patients to tolerate the antigen without producing an allergic reaction.
