Dr. Xie Zixing
Symptoms of pediatric cough-variant asthma include paroxysmal dry cough, which is more prominent at night and in the early morning. Coughing may worsen upon exposure to cold air, respiratory infections, cooking fumes, or dust. The disease may present with recurrent episodes of coughing, as well as temporal regularity and seasonality. During episodes, children may also experience accompanying symptoms such as wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.
