Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Efficacy of montelukast sodium chewable tablets combined with inhaled budesonide in treating pediatric asthma and its effect on inflammatory factors.
The aim of this study was to explore the clinical effect of montelukast sodium chewable tablets combined with inhaled budesonide in the treatment of pediatric asthma and its influence on inflammatory factors. One hundred and thirty-five asthmatic children were randomly divided into montelukast sodium group, budesonide group and combined group. Clinical symptoms, lung function, inflammatory factors and immune related indices of patients in each group were observed and recorded. ⋯ Six months after treatment, the incidence of asthma in the combined group was significantly lower than that in the single-drug group (both p < 0.05). Montelukast sodium chewable tablets combined with inhaled budesonide can shorten the discomfort duration of asthmatic children and help them restore lung function. Moreover, it reduces the level of inflammatory factors and increases the resistance of children, which is worthy of further promotion and application.
