Common Questions and Answers about Allergy and cough

allergies

Avatar n tn There are many causes of cough, some infectious or on an allergic basis and some not, for example aspiration (into the lungs) of a foreign body. Allergy is a reasonable consideration and can be present with cough the only “allergic” symptom. You might want to do a careful examination of his room, looking to the possibility of a new, allergic substance having been introduced. Also, cough (without wheeze) can sometimes be the only symptom of asthma.
Avatar m tn Hello and hope you are doing well. The symptoms described could be due to a throat infection, most probably streptococcal or a viral infection. Strep sore throat needs to be treated with an antibiotic as strep is a bacteria. Viral sore throat is best treated with rest, warm oral fluids and (OTC) tylenol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen for pain.
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed and treated for colon cancer in Sept 2010 and cleared in July 2011 after treatment. I developed this cough in Nov 2011 and still have it today. I've seen a Lung Dr., Gastroologist (which found that I also suffer from Acute gastritis), Family Dr., Oncologist and my allergy Dr. all to no avail. I've had two chest x rays and nothing was found. I've have a PET scan and nothing was found so now I don't know what to do. My cough is productive.
Avatar f tn I would certainly make an appointment with the GP and ask, he/she may run some allergy tests or send you to an allergy specialist.
Avatar f tn I had pneumonia 6 months ago, which was treated with antibiotics. I got well but my cough continued. I cough (mostly dry with some mucus) throughout the day and it cough bouts are horrible at nights. I ignored the cough thinking it will fade away. Few months ago, I started experiencing breathlessness and tightness in chest alongwith coughing. My doctor said it was allergy and prescribed some medicines for lowering eosinophil count. It did not work.
Avatar f tn s, cat scans, allergy tests only show grass, weeds as allergy related. He could have post-nasal drip causing him to cough. Elevate his bed (pillows under mattress) portion. He could also have "reflux" and should try otc prevacid for acid reflux..stay away from spicy foods.Try using the neti pot (which has done wonders for me vs. medication) which can clear up some of the mucus that is dripping down the back of his throat.

Avatar f tn I am not really familiar with losartan, but if it falls in the family of blood presure medications known as beta blockers it certainly can be the cause of your cough. Ace inhibitors have a much lower risk of causing the cough, and most people who have problems with beta blockers do well on them. I hope that helps you a little. God bless.
Avatar n tn however, most cough medicines loosen up the congestion in your lungs so you can get it up and out and stop the cough and if you said that it was a really dry cough, it could be something different that you might want to see a doctor for...I guess this doesn't really answer your question but I'd start with a pharmacist and see what they say.
Avatar n tn Doctor (paeditricians) seems to be confused and about the causes and sometimes say it is due to allergy or asthma (triggered by allergy) or flume in lungs etc. I am worried about the frequency of occurance and it might affect his studies too. He seemsto have reduced appetite (in general) and has not gaining much weight. I need advise as to which specialist I should apparoach to so that the diagnosis can be done correctly.
Avatar n tn He has no other symptoms, has had a chest and sinus X-ray, which were normal. He has had antibiotics and steroids. The cough has not gone away. Not sure why he thinks it is an allergy... Please advise. Thanks!

1173253 tn?1263496613 Currently I have chest congestion and a cough, so it is even worse than usual. I am not sleeping as I keep taking off the CPAP to blow my nose or to cough. Could I be allergic to the CPAP, or the dirt or germs in the tubing, or to the air that is sucked in thru the CPAP? No matter how good I feel in the day.....I get worse at night? Help Please.

Avatar f tn If the itch comes back despite the hypoallergenic diet, then the reason/diagnosis would be pollen/dust allergies (Atopy) and referral to a veterinary dermatologist for allergy skin testing and desensitization injections (just like allergy shots in kids) would be warranted.

Avatar m tn I am a 20 year old college student. I have had asthma since I was 6 years old. Every time I have gone home for more then 3-4 days I have reaction to something either my cat or my parents cigarette smoking. As I return to college I have a constant cough for a week or so. The first break thats all it was, was a cough with light constant asthma. The second break I completely lost my voice for a week, coughed a lot and had constant asthma.
