Does eating dairy products make people with cough variant asthma cough more?

Eating dairy products like yogurt, cheese and butter does not cause any symptoms. However, as soon as I drink a glass of milk (from whole milk to skim), my throat fills up with mucus and I start coughing and sometimes my chest will get a little tight. I normally do not wheeze but the few times I have wheezed I was either exposed to high levels of cat or dog dander, a pet bird or milk. I worked for an allergist for nine years long ago and have been allergy tested numerous times but have never tested positive for milk allergy. In my case, milk definitely exacerbates my cough-variant Asthma. On a very rare occasion, I will just get mucus and not start coughing but 95% of the time when I drink milk I get the coughing.

∙ 12y agoNot that I am aware of. I am an asthmatic and the major causes or triggers my doctor told me were:
Dust
The cold (like being cold outside)
Cat Saliva (no joke, I suggested cat fur as I thought I was allergic, and he said well actually minute particles of cat saliva in the air can set people off)
I am not a medical pro, but thats just from experience. However, cold dairy products, like milkshakes (being that they are cold) can set off a person's asthma. I suppose it depends on the individual.

== == == == Allergies and Asthma: A Common Type of Asthma Allergies and asthma often go hand-in-hand. Allergic rhinitis (also called hay fever) is inflammation of the inside lining of the nose and is the single most common chronic allergic disease experienced by people. In those with allergic rhinitis, increased sensitivity (allergy) to a substance causes your body's immune cells to release histamines in response to contact with the allergens. Histamines along with other chemicals lead to allergy symptoms. The most common allergens enter the body through the airway. With allergic rhinitis, you may feel a constant runny nose, ongoing sneezing, swollen nasal passages, excess mucus, weepy eyes, and a scratchy throat. A cough may result from the constant postnasal drip. Many times asthma symptoms are triggered by allergic rhinitis. Your doctor may prescribe medications to control the allergies and, in doing so, the cough and other asthma symptoms may subside. Exercise-Induced Asthma Exercise-induced asthma is a type of asthma triggered exercise or physical exertion. Many people with asthma experience some degree of symptoms with exercise. However, there are many people without asthma, including Olympic athletes, who develop symptoms only during exercise. With exercise-induced asthma, airway narrowing peaks five to 20 minutes after exercise begins, making it difficult to catch your breath. You may have symptoms of an asthma attack with wheezing and coughing. Your doctor can instruct you if you need to pre-medicate with asthma inhalers (bronchodilators) before exercise to prevent these uncomfortable asthma symptoms. Cough-Variant Asthma In the type of asthma called cough-variant asthma, severe coughing with asthma is the predominant symptom. There can be other causes of cough such as postnasal drip, chronic rhinitis, sinusitis, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD or heartburn). Coughing because of sinusitis with asthma is common. Asthma is a serious cause of cough that is common today. Cough-variant asthma is vastly underdiagnosed and undertreated. Asthma triggers for cough-variant asthma are usually respiratory infections and exercise. For any persistent cough, contact your doctor. Your doctor may order specific asthma tests, such as pulmonary function tests, to show how well your lungs function. You might need to see a lung specialist for further tests before an asthma diagnosis is made.

Also what that means is there haven't been enough people with these types of symptoms to make a category for them yet, not that the symptoms are any worse or better than the other types.
