Dr. Xie Zixing
Childhood cough-variant asthma primarily manifests clinically as a dry cough, typically more pronounced at night and in the early morning. This symptom may result from a familial genetic predisposition or exposure to allergens. It is advisable to seek evaluation at a hospital and, under a physician’s guidance, initiate treatment with medications such as albuterol inhaler and montelukast sodium tablets. Additionally, cultivating healthy lifestyle habits is essential.
