Clinical Observation of Modified Huopu Xialing Decoction Combined with Sangju Decoction in the Treatment of Post-infectious Cough
Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of modified Huopu Xialing Decoction combined with Sangju Decoction in the treatment of post-infectious cough(damp-heat of syndrome of pathogen invading lung-de-fense phase).Methods:A total of 120 patients were divided into the control group and the observation group by the random number table method,60 patients in each group.The control group was treated with compound me-thoxyphenamine capsule,the observation group was treated with modified Huopu Xialing Decoction combined with Sangju Decoction.After 7 days of treatment,the cough symptom scores,traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syn-drome scores,quality of life(QOL)scores,clinical efficacy and adverse reactions were observed in both groups.Re-sults:After treatment,the cough symptom scores and TCM syndrome scores of both groups decreased compared with before treatment,and the observation group was lower than the control group(P<0.05).QOL scores of pa-tients in both groups after treatment were improved than before(P<0.05),and the observation group had a slight advantage to the control group(P<0.05).The total effective rate of the observation group(93.33%)was better than that of the control group(78.33%)(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in adverse reac-tions between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion:Modified Huopu Xialing Decoction combined with Sangju De-coction can effectively improve the treatment effect of post-infectious cough(damp-heat of syndrome of pathogen invading lung-defense phase)without significant adverse reactions.
