Allergic Asthma – Symptoms, Causes & Treatment

Coughing

If you suffer from allergic asthma, the airways would be closed off due to the inflammation or constriction caused by the disease. In response, the body will make an attempt to clear these areas by coughing. You might experience this symptom frequently, depending on the intensity of your condition. Unlike the coughs in bacterial infections that are wet and full of mucus, asthma patients often have dry coughs with a very little amount of mucus. Especially, coughing tends to worsen or begin during the night. It can even get worse when you wake up the next morning. In advanced cases, the problem would occur throughout the whole day. [2]
