Dealing With Cough Variant Asthma

What comes to mind when you meet someone who has had a consistent cough for about 2 months? An easier answer than just a persistent flu would be hard to come by especially for those with minimal knowledge of the medical world. Ever heard of Cough Variant Asthma?

Well that would be the correct term for this kind of condition that is usually with very reserved signs. Shortness of breath, wheezing and sneezing is absent in this ailment, unlike in the normal asthma. Chronic Variant Asthma is mainly triggered by strong smells, moist air and dust.

Although there is no known cause of the ailment, it is more common in younger children already exposed to normal asthma. Allergies to blood pressure, migraine and palpation medication as well as aspirin allergies have been known to trigger it in adults with cases of jogging in cold air being a factor.

Since a physical or chest X-Ray test for cough variant asthma does not show any signs, a test where inhalation of methacolin is done. In cases where asthma is present the respiratory tract narrows and a bronchodilator is given to the patient to open the tract. An asthma inhaler with albuterol ipratropium and some anti-inflammatory agents can be used as treatment begins.

Cough Variant Asthma is an ailment that is gradual in responding to medication. It is therefore recommended that once you have began treatment for the same, patience should be a guiding factor, since the medication may take up to 6 weeks before visible results begin to show.
