What medication is used when a child with allergic asthma has a cough?

  Patient: Description of the condition (onset time, main symptoms, hospital visited, etc.): My child started to show signs of asthma last year, and after examination this year, it was allergic asthma. Now he often coughs after cold days, sometimes causing asthma attacks, and uses Meprobamate bronchodilator, does nebulization, hangs water during asthma attacks, and now takes cisplatin and co-codone for a long time. I would like to ask which medications should be used if it is just a simple cough that has not yet caused an asthma attack.  Chai Minglei, Department of Pediatrics, Hangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine: 1. If the cold cough appears under asthma, only symptomatic treatment is needed, with some cough medicine available, such as Huifenin, and antibiotics available if there is a bacterial infection. 2. If the cough appears under asthma treatment, it is necessary to consider whether the asthma treatment medicine can control the level of your current child’s condition, and if not, upgrade the treatment.  Patient: Thank you Dr. Chai for your reply? I would also like to ask, we don’t have asthma attacks now, but he often coughs at night, but he is fine during the day and his spirit is good.  Chai Minglei, Department of Pediatrics, Hangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine: Frequent coughing at night is also a sign of uncontrolled asthma, and it is recommended to consult an asthma specialist to see if the dosage of asthma medication should be adjusted.
