What is he allergic bronchitis in children?

Allergy is difficult to call a disease. This is most likely a complex of completely different diseases. The immune system of each person works in such a way that all activity is directed to the destruction and expulsion of a foreign substance from the body. The intensity of the functioning of the immune system reaches its peak during an allergic reaction. To destroy a substance that causes allergies, the immune system activates all its forces, resulting in inflammation. Nerve endings are irritated and the vessels dilate. As a result, the muscles in the bronchi contract and there is an endless, torturing child cough.

During this disease, an allergic reaction is formed in the middle and large bronchi. The bronchioles are not affected by the allergic process. For this reason, there are no attacks of suffocation in allergic bronchitis, in contrast to bronchial asthma.

In a child with an allergic bronchitis, during the study with bronchoscopy, paleness and swelling of the bronchial mucosa are observed; in their lumen there is a large amount of mucus, the mouth of the large bronchi is narrowed.
