Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of montelukast sodium and procaterol for treating the children with chronic cough and its impact on serum immunoglobulin E(IgE).Methods Eighty cases of children with chronic cough were divided into treatment group and control group by random digits table method with 40 cases each.The control group was given procaterol treatment on the basis of conventional treatment,and the treatment group was added montelukast sodium on the basis of treatment of control group.Treatment course was 1 month.Before and after treatment,the clinical symptoms and signs in the two groups were observed,the serum IgE level was detected,the clinical efficacy was evaluated,and the adverse reaction was observed.Results The total effective rate in the treatment group was 95.0% (38/40),the control group was 67.5% (27/40),and the difference was significant (x2 =9.928,P < 0.01).The time of cough mitigation and disappearance in the treatment group was (24.41 ± 8.14) d and (41.27 ± 14.74) d,which was lower than that in the control group [(47.27 ± 15.76) d and (57.78 ±20.64) d],and the difference was significant (t =8.153,4.118,P < 0.05).After treatment,the serum IgE level in the treatment group and control group significantly decreased [(295.27 ± 105.45)μg/L vs.(594.48 ± 198.16)μg/L,(427.78 ± 152.78) μ g/L vs.(567.21 ± 189.07) μ g/L,t =8.430,3.628,P < 0.05],and the difference was significant between them (t =4.515,P <0.05).There were no serious adverse reactions in two groups.Conclusions The serum IgE may play an important role in the incidence of children with chronic cough,and montelukast sodium and procaterol for treating the children with chronic cough is safe,effective and worthy of clinical application.
