Methods 68 children with cough admitted to the Department of Pediatrics of our hospital from September 2022 to February 2023 were randomly divided into control group and treatment group, of which 34 children in the control group were given conventional Western medicine treatment, and 34 children in the treatment group were treated with traditional Chinese medicine acupoint application on the basis of conventional Western medicine treatment for 5 days. The efficacy of TCM syndromes, TCM syndromes scores and the days of relief of cough symptoms were compared and evaluated between the two groups.

The score of TCM syndrome in the treatment group was better than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Compared with the two groups, the duration of relief of cough symptoms in the treatment group was shorter than that in the control group (P < 0.05).
Conclusion   Acupoint application is effective in the treatment of cough in children, and its value needs further study.
