My child was diagnosed with cough variant asthma but is it more driven by inflammation vs a regular ?

Inhaled steroids: Cough variant asthma caused by inflammation is best treated by inhaled steroids. Check with your medical provider to determine the best one for your child.

No...: Cough variant asthma means that the inflammation and bronchospasm results in coughing as the predominant symptom instead of wheezing. Other than that, cough variant asthma is still asthma.
