The method of eliminating wind, eliminating lung and relieving cough was combined with procaterol hydrochloride tablets and montelukast sodium to observe and compare the curative effects of the two groups. Results: There was no significant difference in TCM symptom score and eosinophil (EOS) count between the two groups before treatment (P > 0.05); After treatment, the TCM symptom scores of coughs, pharyngeal itching, expectoration, nasal congestion and nasal itching in the research group were lower than those in the reference group, and the EOS count was lower than that in the reference group (P < 0.05); The effective rate of research group was higher than that of reference group (P < 0.05). Conclusions: For children with cough variant asthma, Qufeng Sufei cough relieving method combined with procaterol hydrochloride and montelukast sodium can improve children’s symptoms and reduce eosinophil count.
