allergic cough

Hi, I am 26 years old male and I started to cough several days ago. At the beginning coughing wasn't so strong but as time passed it became more intensive. I have visited my doctor and after few examinations he told me that allergy caused my coughing. I would like to know something more about this kind of coughing.

Hi, cough you are experiencing is just symptom of allergy. It may be caused by polluted air, dust, pollen or food. Allergens are irritating your sensitive airways in the lungs and secretion of mucus becomes stronger. It is closing airways and cause cough as reflex which tries to clear your lungs from mucus. Antihistamines as medications for allergy may be very useful for cough too.
