中医药治疗儿童过敏性咳嗽的研究进展

Research Progress of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the Treatment of Allergic Cough in Children

摘要: 过敏性咳嗽(AC)为儿科常见病，以刺激性干咳为主要临床症状。临床中常因治疗欠妥，导致迁延难愈，影响患儿生活质量。目前西医对于儿童AC的治疗虽有较好疗效，但长期使用副作用明显，易反复发作。相较之下，中药、穴位贴敷、推拿、中西医结合治疗、其他中医外治辅助治疗等方法在此病的治疗中具有操作简便、副作用相对少，远期疗效稳定等特点。随着中医中药的逐渐发展，使中医药治疗儿童AC被越来越多的医家及患者所接受。本文对儿童AC中医药治疗的应用进展进行综述。

Abstract: Allergic Cough (AC) is a prevalent pediatric disorder characterized by irritating dry cough as the core clinical manifestation. Clinically, inappropriate treatment often results in prolonged and refractory courses, which impair the quality of life of affected children. Currently, Western medicine yields favorable therapeutic effects for pediatric AC, but long-term administration is accompanied by significant adverse reactions and a high recurrence rate. In contrast, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)-based interventions, including Chinese herbal medicine, acupoint application, tuina massage, integrated TCM-Western medicine therapy, and other auxiliary external TCM treatments, exhibit distinct advantages, such as simple operation, relatively few side effects, and stable long-term efficacy in managing this condition. With the continuous advancement of TCM, its application in the treatment of pediatric AC has been increasingly recognized and accepted by medical professionals and patients alike. This article provides a comprehensive review of the latest application progress of TCM in the treatment of AC in children.
