Abstract: Objective To observe clinical efficacy of budesonide suspension for inhalation (pulmicort respules) for treatment of upper airway cough syndrome. Methods The treatment group(31 patients) used 1mg budesonide suspension for inhalation partly by atomization inhalation via mask nose and mouth, which were used 2 times a day and course of two weeks. The control group (30 patients) were not used budesonide aerosol at all. At the same time, the two groups were added in oral loratadine 1 time a day and gino capsule 3 times a day and course of two weeks. Symptoms changes of twogroups used medication for 2 courses were observed before and after treatment. Results The overall effect of the patients treated with an effective rate of 96.8%, significantly better than the control group, which had a effective rate of 53.3%. (P<0.05). Conclusions Treatment of upper airway cough syndrome by aerosol inhalation budesonide suspension was effective, and the onset time and efficacy were higher than that in the control group.
