As Valleant’s guide explains, allergic reactions occur when an individual’s immune system erroneously identifies a harmless substance as a pathogen. While reactions can occur in any part of the body, they frequently arise when allergens, such as pollen or dust, enter the airways. This can prompt the body to release histamine and other chemicals, which often trigger disruptive symptoms such as coughing.

There are two kinds of coughs: dry coughs, which are caused by irritation in the throat or an airway, and wet coughs, which result from postnasal drip. The type of cough that an individual suffers from can provide hints on the underlying factors behind the allergy, but Valleant’s guide notes that allergens can induce a variety of responses from the immune system. For this reason, allergy testing may be necessary to identify the exact causes of a reaction.

Pollen is one common irritant, particularly during the spring and summer, whereas allergic reactions to mold spores are more prevalent during the fall and winter months. If indoor environments are not cleaned regularly, dust mites—microscopic organisms that live in upholstered furniture and carpets—and pet dander may also cause coughing. However, in less severe cases, individuals may be able to alleviate their own symptoms by managing their exposure to airborne irritants and taking medication.

For immediate symptom relief, Valleant’s guide says that readers can take antihistamines and decongestants, which block histamine production and reduce nasal inflammation, respectively. However, these are not recommended as long-term treatment options due to their potential side effects. Instead, readers can consider immunotherapy, which exposes the body to safe amounts of a specific allergen to gradually desensitize it and reduce the severity of allergic reactions over time.

Valleant also says that individuals can invest in air purifiers to reduce the amount of airborne pollutants in their living space. Additionally, the guide suggests cleaning indoor areas regularly to prevent allergens from accumulating.
