Effect of acupoint application of traditional Chinese medicine compound granules in adjuvant treatment of bacterial pneumonia in children
Objective To explore the effect of acupoint application of traditional Chinese medicine compound granules in adjuvant treatment of bacterial pneumonia in children.Methods A total of 80 children with bacterial pneumonia admitted from January to July 2023 were selected as the research objects.According to the random number table method,the children were divided into control group(n=40)and observation group(n=40).According to the severity of symptoms,the observation group was divided into severe group(n=23)and mild group(n=17).The control group was treated with ceftriaxone sodium,and the observation group was treated with acupoint application of traditional Chinese medicine compound granules on the basis of the control group.The therapeutic effects of the control group and the observation group,and the levels of infectious indicators in the severe group and the mild group were compared.Results After treatment,the levels of neutrophil CD64(nCD64)and procalcitonin(PCT)in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).Before treatment,the levels of nCD64 and PCT in the severe group were higher than those in the mild group(P<0.05);after treatment,there were no significant differences in the levels of nCD64 and PCT between the severe group and the mild group(P>0.05).After treatment,the levels of interleukin-6(IL-6),interleukin-10(IL-10)and interferon-γ(IFN-y)in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).The body temperature returned to normal time,lung shadow disappearance time,lung rale disappearance time,cough relief time and hospitalization time of the observation group were shorter than those of the control group(P<0.05).The total effective rate of treatment in the observation group was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05);there were no significant differences in the total incidence of adverse reactions between the control group and the observation group(P>0.05).Conclusion Acupoint application of traditional Chinese medicine compound granules has a better clinical effect in the treatment of bacterial pneumonia in children.
