Is it better to use traditional Chinese medicine or western medicine for children in allergic cough?

Allergic cough, also known as cough variant asthma, is common in preschool children. Its etiology is complex, including genetic factors such as allergic constitution and environmental factors such as pollen and dust mites. Because cough usually occurs at night or in the early hours of the morning, mothers often think that the baby is caused by a cold and don't care too much, or blindly give the baby antibiotics and cough medicine. The cough symptoms can't be cured for a long time, often lasting for more than 3 weeks.

The harm of children's allergic cough is well known. The appearance of allergic cough has brought great troubles to patients and seriously endangered their health. Therefore, it is necessary to have a thorough understanding of the harm of allergic cough.

1, Dyspnea: Patients with allergic asthma will have dyspnea, chest pain, chest suffocation and other symptoms. In this case, you should not lie flat, and your head should lean forward. The attack may last for a while. Cough, allergic asthma patients are prone to cough relief during the attack, thus turning into wheezing. At the end of the attack, there will be a lot of secretions discharged, which is easy to be considered as bronchitis.

2, chest pain: patients with allergic asthma will feel chest pain when the condition is serious, which may be related to respiratory muscle fatigue. When combined with pneumothorax, severe chest pain may suddenly appear. In some cases, patients with allergic asthma will vomit when asthma attacks, which will seriously lead to incontinence, which is very serious and seriously affects the lives of patients. When severe asthma persists, there may be neurological and mental symptoms such as headache, dizziness, burnout, confusion, lethargy and coma.

Allergic cough and allergic probiotics

There are more than 1 1,000 kinds of probiotics in normal human intestine, and the total number exceeds 1 1,000 trillion. Probiotics in the intestines of babies after birth account for about 90% of the total bacteria. What important role do these microbial probiotics play in human body? Microbial probiotics in human intestine are the first thing to educate the immune system after a child is born. Therefore, microbial probiotics in contact with human body have the functions of immune education, nutrition, biological antagonism, digestion and absorption, anti-aging, anti-tumor and so on: intestinal probiotics stimulate the development of intestinal mucosa and immune organs, activate the immune system, and educate people's immune system which microorganisms are beneficial to human body and which are harmful to human body; Biological antagonism: probiotics of intestinal microorganisms play the role of mucosal immune barrier, protecting harmful substances from being directly absorbed into the blood and causing allergic diseases. Intestinal probiotics promote the growth of epithelial cells and maintain the integrity of intestinal mucosa. Intestinal probiotics regulate and activate systemic cellular immunity and humoral immunity. For example, anti-allergic probiotics Minyikang probiotics regulate the immune balance relationship of TH 1/TH2, mediate IgE immune pathway, inhibit IgE allergic antibodies, regulate TH2 immune response overreaction caused by allergy by enhancing TH 1 immune response, and enhance immune anti-allergic ability. It has become the foothold of early prevention and treatment of allergic asthma in allergic cough. Normal allergic probiotics and probiotic groups are very important for the establishment and development of children's immune disease suppression system, especially allergic diseases.

There are great differences in intestinal probiotics between allergic children and healthy children. After years of research, it is found that the diversity of intestinal probiotics in children with allergic asthma decreases in the early life, and the colonization of intestinal probiotics in early life of infants can fully educate the human immune system, which plays a vital role in the development of innate immunity, adaptive immunity and oral immune tolerance, and is irreplaceable for the first education of immune system. Perinatal overexposure, mode of production (children born by caesarean section are in direct contact with the environment and doctors' microbial flora because they have not received the microorganisms in the parturient's birth canal, which is one of the reasons why allergic diseases are more likely to occur), feeding mode, diet and premature use of antibiotics will all affect the normal colonization of intestinal probiotics, thus directly affecting the immune system of newborns, and making allergic diseases such as autoimmune diseases, infant eczema, allergic asthma and food allergy affect the growth of infants.

The relationship between premature use of antibiotics in infants and asthma attacks in allergic cough: The use of antibiotics by infants before one year old will increase the incidence of asthma in children. Antibiotics change the composition of intestinal probiotics, which leads to the imbalance of immune microecological environment in human body, increased immune susceptibility and more prone to allergic diseases. Antibiotics lead to long-term changes in intestinal probiotic colonization flora, which makes infants more susceptible to allergic diseases (eczema, urticaria, food allergies such as milk and eggs, allergic rhinitis, allergic cough asthma, recurrent respiratory infections). People and microorganisms are mutually beneficial. mankind

Probiotics exist not only in the intestine, but also in respiratory tract, skin and other organs and mucous membranes. Intestinal probiotics, respiratory probiotics and skin probiotics are all involved in the pathogenesis of allergic asthma. The course and prognosis of asthma in allergic cough are related to the destruction of intestinal flora. The use of antibiotics by infants before one year old will increase the incidence of asthma in children. The diversity of intestinal flora is related to asthma. The human environment needs the mediation of intestinal flora to be in immune homeostasis. The use of antibiotics leads to changes in intestinal flora, including the way of fetal production and feeding. We can make full use of the theory of intestinal flora damage to fight allergic diseases through microorganisms, such as allergic rhinitis in children, variant asthma in allergic cough, allergic asthma, urticaria, eczema, measles and other common allergic diseases.

The relationship between intestinal flora and allergic diseases has become a new discovery in allergic cough, besides inhaling hormone to treat asthma, and a new research direction to improve the recovery of allergic diseases in children.

Literature report on the formula of compound antiallergic probiotics in animal experiments and human clinical experiments;

1! Feeding lactobacillus salivarius PM-A0006 inhibits allergic respiratory response in mice. The results show that it can significantly reduce the concentration of eosinophils in respiratory tract, reduce the content of protein-specific antibodies in blood, reduce the occurrence of allergic reaction in respiratory tract and increase the content of γ -interferon secreted by spleen cells. Conclusion: Lactobacillus salivarius A0006 probiotics have therapeutic effect on allergic respiratory diseases. -published by Wu.

2. The effect of Lactobacillus salivarius PM-A0006 on allergic rhinitis caused by dermatophagoides farinae, dermatophagoides farinae or dust. The results show that 8 ~ 12 weeks can obviously improve the allergic symptoms related to eyes and nose, and the frequency of using allergic drugs after 12 weeks is obviously reduced. Conclusion: Eating Lactobacillus salivarius PM-A0006 can improve the clinical symptoms of allergic rhinitis and reduce the frequency of medication. -Wu Publishing

3. Lactobacillus salivarius PM-A0006 plus fructooligosaccharides is more effective than fructooligosaccharides alone in the treatment of moderate and severe atopic dermatitis (also known as infantile eczema): a double-blind, randomized human clinical trial on efficacy and safety. The results showed that at 8 weeks, the severity of atopic dermatitis was significantly reduced, and more children's condition slowed down to mild, while the frequency of drug use and eosinophil concentration were significantly reduced. Conclusion: Lactobacillus salivarius PM-A0006 is effective in treating moderate and severe atopic dermatitis (also known as infantile eczema). -published by Wu.

The importance of supplementing Minyikang probiotics for children after using antibiotics and after repeated respiratory infections complicated with wheezing: By reducing TH2 immune response caused by allergy, enhancing TH 1 immune function and regulating Treg immune cells, intestinal bacteria can provide favorable scientific support for the new discovery of allergic diseases. Such as allergic rhinitis, allergic cough's disease, cough variant asthma, allergic asthma, even children with asthma caused by asthmatic bronchitis and repeated respiratory infections can be supplemented with anti-allergic probiotic Minyikang as soon as possible, which interferes with the IgE pathway mediated by intestinal microecology, thus inhibiting the production of IgE allergic antibodies, thus improving the course and prognosis of allergic asthma in children and reducing the recurrence rate of asthma.
