Effects of Montelukast and Seretide in Treating Cough Variant Asthma of Children
Objective Discuss the clinical effects of Montelukast and Seretide in treating cough variant asthma of children(CVA). Methods Divide the 85 CVA patients into the groups of observation(43) and control(42). The observation group is treated with both Montelukast and Seretide, while the other group is treated with only Seretide. Observe effects of the treatment among both groups. Results The observation group is better than the control group in terms of the clinical symptoms, improvement in lung function, and potencies achieved recently(P <0.05). The recurrence rate of the observation group within one year is 11.63%, obviously lower than 33.33% of the control group(P <0.05). No significant differences in adverse reaction between the two groups are observed(P >0.05). Conclusion Treating CVA with both Montelukast and Seretide can achieve remarkable curative effects, considerable symptom improvements, low recurrence rate, and high safety and reliability, thus it is qualified for wider uses.
