Treatment of pediatric variant asthma
Disease description:
For the past four or five days, my colleague's child has been experiencing persistent dry coughing. After a comprehensive examination at the hospital, the doctor diagnosed it as cough-variant asthma in children. What are the treatments for childhood cough-variant asthma?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Xie Zixing
Children with variant asthma can use inhaled corticosteroid medications under a doctor's guidance to relieve symptoms, such as budesonide. They may also be treated with intravenous corticosteroids, such as methylprednisolone and prednisone acetate. Additionally, under medical supervision, β2 receptor agonists like formoterol and salmeterol can be used for treatment.
