Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing chest pain and tightness in my chest. The hospital examination suggested a respiratory disease, but the medication hasn't been very effective. Recently, my cough has worsened. How is cough-variant asthma treated?Doctor's answer:
Cough-variant asthma is essentially asthma itself, which may not show symptoms at ordinary times but can cause frequent mild coughing again after a cold, as the reason for this recurrence is the reappearance of severe airway pain. The treatment for cough-variant asthma should focus on stabilizing the severe airway pain as the foundation, as simply using lung-cleansing medications is relatively ineffective. It is also necessary to actively control infections. Regular exercise should be strengthened to enhance physical fitness.
