Abstract：Post-infectious cough(PIC)of respiratory tract in children belongs to the non-specific cough category of chronic cough,which refers to a type of disease in children,in which the cough persists even after the acute symptoms of respiratory tract infections have disappeared.PIC is the third leading cause of chronic cough in children.After the outbreak of novel coronavirus infection(hereinafter referred to as COVID-19),the original spectrum of infectious diseases of the respiratory system in China has changed greatly,and PIC has increased.At present,the pathogenic characteristics of PIC are not clear,and there are few targeted reports on the pathogenesis.Standardized diagnosis is not yet mature.In clinical practice,the combination therapy of traditional Chinese and western medicine for PIC is often recognized by doctors and patients.The combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine is not just the use of chemical drugs supplemented with traditional Chinese medicine,but requires individualized"prevention-treatment-rehabilitation"guidance through the interaction of traditional Chinese and western medicine.The establishment of a systematic diagnosis and treatment approach and the formation of an integrated plan of traditional Chinese and western medicine have been put on the agenda.Therefore,this consensus was jointly initiated and organized by the Children's Health Collaborative Innovation Platform of China Association of Chinese Medicine,Group of Respiration of Professional Committee of Child Allergologyof China Maternal and Child Health Association,and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Practical Pediatrics,in order to provide guidance for the integrated diagnosis and treatment of PIC with traditional Chinese and western medicine.
