Abstract： Objective： To observe the clinical effect of point application with Chinese herbal medicine combined with routine western medicine for cough variant asthma(CVA) in children. Methods： A total of 90 cases of CVA children with excessive wind and spasm syndrome were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group，45 cases in each group. Both groups were treated with budesonide and formoterol inhalation as well as montelukast sodium chewable tablets， and given comprehensive nursing measures including health propaganda and education， diet nursing and living care；the observation group was additionally treated with point application with Chinese herbal medicine. Both groups were treated for four weeks. The degrees of cough were evaluated once each time by Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) before treatment， after treatment for one， two， three and four weeks respectively， and the disappearance time of cough was recorded. Before and after treatment，the scores of excessive wind and spasm syndrome were assessed，and the quality of life was assessed by Leicester Cough Questionnaire(LCQ). The clinical effect in the two groups was compared. Results：After treatment for one to four weeks，the VAS scores of cough in the two groups showed a downward trend(P＜0.05)，and the scores of each time point in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05). After four- week treatment，the disappearance rate of cough was 95.56% in the observation group，higher than that of 80.00% in the control group，the difference being significant(P＜0.05)；the disappearance time of cough in the observation group was shorter than that in the control group(P＜0.01). The scores of excessive wind and spasm syndrome in the two groups were decreased when compared with those before treatment(P＜0.01)， and the score in the observation group was lower than that in the control group(P＜0.01). The scores of physiology，psychology and society as well as the total scores in LCQ in the two groups were increased when compared with those before treatment(P＜0.01)； the above scores in the observation group were higher than those in the control group(P＜0.01). The clinical effect in the observation group was better than that in the control group(P＜0.05). Conclusion： Based on western medicine， point application with Chinese herbal medicine can effective alleviate cough，shorten the course and improve disappearance rate of cough，quality of life.
