Objective: To investigate the clinical effects of fluticasone propionate (Flu)
montelukast sodium (Mon) and ketotifen (Ket) in the treatment of cough variant asthma (CVA) in Children. Methods: Totally 245 patients with CVA admitted into our hospital from Jun. 2016 to Jun. 2018 were extracted to be divided into the Flu group
Mon group
Ket group
Flu+Mon group
Flu+Ket group
Mon+Ket group and Flu+Mon+Ket group via the random number table
with 35 cases in each group. The effects were evaluated after 8 weeks and 12 weeks of treatment. The evaluation indexes mainly included lung function (FEV1%
PEF%)
cough symptom score
adverse drug reactions and recurrence of cough. Results: After 8 weeks of treatment
the lung function index (FEV1%
PEF%) of each group was improved
the cough symptom score was decreased
and the combination of three drugs was superior to the single drug and the combination of two drugs. After 12 weeks of treatment
except for the Ket group
there were no significant differences in lung function index (FEV1%
PEF%) and cough symptom score among other groups. Adverse drug reactions monitoring showed that drug combination did not increase the incidence of adverse drug reactions. The recurrence rate of cough in children in the Ket group was significantly higher than that in the other groups (P<0.05). Conclusion: This study indicates that Flu
Mon and Ket can be used in the treatment of CVA in children. The recommended regimen is: in the first 8 weeks
the combination of three drugs can obtain the best therapeutic effects. From 8 to 12 weeks
Flu or Mon alone can achieve similar therapeutic effects as the combination of three drugs
