How do you know if your cough is from allergies?

Coughing in case of an allergy is normally nonproductive and chronic. Sometimes it is accompanied by sneezing, sore eyes, or a runny nose. It worsens significantly when exposed to allergens, such as pollen, dust, and pet dander, and improves with allergy medications, rather than cold or flu remedies.

What does an allergy cough sound like?

An allergy cough is usually dry, hacking, or tickling and not wet or gluey. It is usually provoked by the inhalation of allergens and can be aggravated in some places. In comparison to a cold, it does not produce mucus or lead to chest congestion and fever.

How do you stop an allergy cough?

Prevent a cough that is caused by an allergy by avoiding known allergens such as pollen, dust, or pet dander. Take antihistamines, nasal sprays or medicine on allergies as suggested. Throat irritation and coughing can also be prevented by keeping indoor air clean using air purifiers and by keeping yourself hydrated.

Why am I coughing a lot but not sick?

Coughing with no other symptoms of illness can be caused by allergies, asthma, postnasal drip, or exposure to environmental irritants (smoke or dust). Should it continue, visit a physician to eliminate such conditions as acid reflux or a non-infectious chronic cough.
