When the immune system responds to a foreign substance in an abnormal way, it is classified as an allergy. When the body first contacts the substance, it will not cause any reactions, but the immune system will start to produce antibodies to it and subsequent contact will trigger more dramatic responses. Depending on the allergy, the response could be mild or very severe...
My daughter has an ongoing cough. Usually it is once in the while but the last 2 days and this past October and September it has been worse. She is being tested for asthma with the methacholine challenge test.
Her main symptom though is a post nasal drip cough caused by mucus in the back of her throat. It sounds like allergies to me.
Cough was so bad last night that she had trouble sleeping.
I just read another post and will have her try Xylitol nasal spray, but any other suggestions so appreciated!!

I got a magnetic sleep mask from Lyon Legacy. And I will tell you, (of course) that there is a difference in magnets. I have bought items fron Nikken in the past. I much prefer Lyon. I can be in the middle of a major sinus attack, put on my mask, and sleep throught the night. No waking to blow my nose, no coughing, and no staying up all night. I wake up in the morning with the dry crusties, but I can handle that.
