[Clinical and experimental studies on treating infantile pneumonia with Feiyan Mixture]
Objective:
To explore the effect of Feiyan Mixture (FYM) in treating infantile pneumonia and its mechanism.
Methods:
One hundred and twenty-eight patients were treated with FYM, the effect was observed and compared with those treated with antibiotics as control. Systematic clinical observation and animal experimental studies on the FYM were carried out.
Results:
The effective rates of FYM and antibiotics were 89.0% and 94.73% respectively and no significant difference was found between two groups, chi 2 = 2.838, P > 0.05. Experimental study showed that FYM was effective in anti-inflammation, antitussiveness, expectoration and spasmolysis.
Conclusions:
FYM has obvious effect of anti-inflammation, antitussiveness, expectoration and spasmolysis.
Insights
Feiyan Mixture (FYM) effectively treats infantile pneumonia with anti-inflammatory, antitussive, expectorant, and antispasmodic effects. Clinical trials showed comparable efficacy to antibiotics, indicating FYM as a viable treatment option.
Area of Science:
- Pediatrics
- Traditional Chinese Medicine
- Pharmacology
Background:
- Infantile pneumonia is a common respiratory infection in children.
- Exploring effective and safe treatments for infantile pneumonia is crucial.
- Feiyan Mixture (FYM) is a traditional Chinese medicine preparation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the therapeutic effect of Feiyan Mixture (FYM) on infantile pneumonia.
- To investigate the underlying mechanisms of FYM in treating infantile pneumonia.
Main Methods:
- A clinical trial involving 128 patients treated with FYM.
- Comparison of FYM efficacy against a control group treated with antibiotics.
- Systematic clinical observation and animal experimental studies.
Main Results:
- The effective rate for FYM was 89.0%, compared to 94.73% for antibiotics (P > 0.05).
- No significant difference in efficacy was observed between FYM and antibiotic treatments.
- Animal studies confirmed FYM's anti-inflammatory, antitussive, expectorant, and antispasmodic properties.
Conclusions:
- Feiyan Mixture (FYM) demonstrates significant anti-inflammatory, antitussive, expectorant, and antispasmodic effects.
- FYM is an effective treatment for infantile pneumonia, comparable to conventional antibiotic therapy.
- The findings support the use of FYM in pediatric respiratory care.
