RESUMO
Objective:To observe adjuvant curative effect and adverse reactions of montelukast in the treatment of children with bronchial asthma and its effect on recurrence. Methods:Totally 180 cases of children with bronchial asthma were randomly divided in-to the control group and the observation group with 90 ones in each. The control group was treated with oxygen and budesonide terbutal-ine inhalation, intravenous methylprednisolone sodium succinate and the other conventional treatment methods, and the observation group was additionally treated with montelukast sodium tablets 5 mg, po, qd. The treatment course was three months, and then expira-tory dyspnea, disappearance time of asthma and wheeze and adverse drug reactions in the two groups were evaluated. After 3-6-month follow-up, the recurrence was compared between the two groups as well. Results: The disappearance time of dyspnea, asthma and wheeze in the observation group was shorter than that in the control group (P<0. 05), the total effective rate in the observation group was 96. 67%, which was significantly higher than that in the control group (73. 33%, P<0. 05). The mean follow-up duration was (5. 1 ± 0. 3) months, and the recurrence rate was 8. 51% in the observation group, which was significantly lower than that in the con-trol group (31. 43%, P<0. 05). During the treatment, no significant adverse drug reaction was appeared in the two groups. Conclu-sion:The conventional drug treatment combined with montelukast can rapidly improve the clinical symptoms and reduce recurrence with promising safety, which is worthy of clinical application.
