The clinical efficacy of Chinese medicine and western medicine on the treatment of acute airway- bronchitis

Objective: To explore clinical efficacy of Chinese medicine and western medicine on the treatment of acute airway-bronchitis. Methods:102 cases of acute airway-bronchitis patients of syndrome of phlegm heat obstructing lung were taken as the study objectives and divided into the observation group(n=52) and control group(n=52) according to the random number table. In the control group patients were treated with oxygen, suction, rehydration, anti-virus and other conventional treatment. Dexamethasone was given 0.5 mg/kg, three times a day intravenously. Penicillin sodium was taken with normal saline by intravenous drip. In observation group patients was given medicine on the basis of the control group. Clinical efficacy and adverse reactions in two groups were compared. Results: The total effective rate in the control group was 70.6%. In observation group the total effective rate was90.2%. The total effective rate in observation group was better than that of the control group(P 0.05). Cooling time, cough disappearance time, pulmonary rales disappearance time in observation group were shorter than those of the control group(P 0.05).Conclusion:The combination of Chinese and Western medicine on the treatment of acute airway-bronchitis inflammation can improve clinical outcome,reduce adverse reactions and cooling time,cough and pulmonary rales disappeared time. This program showed certain effect and be clinical worthy of further exploration.
