Hi Doctor My daughter is 5 years old, Since birth she used to sneeze at almost all smells like powder perfumes dettol etc. When she was 1 and half years old her allergy started expressing itself more. The moment she wakes up she starts coffing accompanied by slightly running nose sometimes. She gets a cold atleast once a month. Again her coffing starts around evening. We dont feed her anything after 7
HelloCough in a case of allergic rhinitis may be due to allergic bronchitis, or it may be cough variant of asthma. Cough which is aggravated during sleep should be investigated for gastroesophageal reflux. I would suggest you to consult a pulmonologist for pulmonary function test as it will help in diagnosis of cough variant of asthma and Serum IGE level to diagnose and follow the allergic problem. Also get a GER scan done to rule out gastroesophageal reflux. Avoid cold, allergens( like dust, smoke, molds, pollen, perfume, do etc.) and irritants as a preventive measures. Regards
