Abstract

Objectives : This study aimed to report improvement of patient with chronic cough treated with Korean medical treatment. Methods : A 12-year-old male patient who began coughing at the end of October 2023 misdiagnosed by a tic disorder and was prescribed oral medication. However, the cough worsened, persisting throughout the day without respite, accompanied by sleep disturbances (desire to sleep continuously) and gait disturbance (only able to walk with support). The patient visited the clinic on December 15, 2023, and was re-diagnosed with chronic cough. And the patient received Korean medical treatment, including herbal medicine(Ryokankyomishinge-tang, Ryokankyomishingenin-tang, Sogunjung-tang), and acupuncture. The severity of chronic cough was evaluated by VAS before and after administration of each treatment term. Results : The patient's symptoms improved and VAS changed 10 to 0. Conclusions : This case study showed an effectiveness of Korean medical treatment on chronic cough.
