Clinical observation of Suhuang cough Decoction combined with Montelukast sodium in the treatment of chronic cough in children
Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of Suhuang Zhike Decoction combined with Montelukast sodium in the treatment of chronic cough in children.Methods:A total of 72 children with chronic cough admitted to our hospital from January 2021 to June 2022 were selected as the study objects.According to the method of random number table,the children were divided into control group and study group,36 cases in each group.The control group was treated with Montelukast sodium,and the study group was treated with Suhuang cough decoction combined with montelukast sodium.Clinical efficacy,TCM syndrome score,eosinophilic granulocyte(EOS),inflammatory factors and adverse reactions of the two groups were analyzed and compared.Results:The total effective rate of the study group was significantly higher than that of the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,TCM syndrome score,venous blood EOS level,erythrocyte settlement rate(ESR)and levels of interleukin-6(IL-6),ferritin(SF)in both groups were significantly lower than before treatment,and the reduction was more significant in the study group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the study group and the control group(P>0.05).Conclusion:Suhuang Zhike Decoction combined with Montelukast sodium is effective in the treatment of chronic cough in children,which can effectively improve the TCM syndrome score and EOS of children,help inhibit the body's inflammatory response,and does not increase the risk of adverse reactions.
