Dr. Xie Zixing
Cough-variant asthma in children usually takes about 6 to 8 weeks of treatment to be cured. When children develop symptoms of cough-variant asthma, the condition may recur repeatedly; therefore, it is recommended to promptly follow a doctor's guidance and take targeted medications for effective treatment. However, as the severity of the condition varies among individuals, the exact duration of treatment may differ.
