Patient's question:
This cold was particularly severe, with very intense coughing. Now the cold symptoms have gone, but the cough persists, and I can't sleep at night due to the coughing. It also occurs during the day, and during severe episodes, I feel like I want to vomit. After a thorough examination, it was determined that I have chronic cough variant asthma. Doctor, how is chronic cough variant asthma treated?Doctor's answer:
Variant asthma has reappeared with symptoms of chronic cough, which is highly related to urethral inflammation. Oral mucus-thinning and cough-relieving medications can be taken for treatment. Additionally, antibiotics should be administered orally. Careful observation is necessary, as recurrent expiratory dyspnea may occur. In such cases, local inhalation of corticosteroids can be used to alleviate breathing difficulties. It is also important to maintain a light diet.
