Abstract:

Objective

To observe the effect of Xingpi Yang'er Granules combined with conventional Western medicine on gastrointestinal dysfunction in children with pneumonia and its impact on syndrome scores.

Methods

A total of 100 pediatric patients with gastrointestinal dysfunction after pneumonia admitted to Jieshou People's Hospital from January 2021 to January 2024 were selected, and were divided into two groups using a random number table method.The control group of 50 cases received conventional Western medicine treatment, while the study group of 50 cases received combined treatment with Xingpi Yang'er Granules.The clinical efficacy, pulmonary infection score (CPIS), pulmonary spleen qi deficiency syndrome score, serum inflammatory factors [procalcitonin (PCT), interferon gamma (IFN-γ),high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) levels], and gastrointestinal dysfunction between two groups were compared.

Results

The total clinical effective rate of the research group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05).After treatment, the CPIS, ulmonary spleen qi deficiency syndrome score of the study group was significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.05).The levels of serum PCT, IFN-γ, TNF-α, and hs-CRP in the study group improved more significantly than those in the control group (P<0.05).The incidence of gastrointestinal dysfunction in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group (10.00% vs. 26.00%,P<0.05).

Conclusion

On the basis of conventional Western medicine treatments such as anti infection,the combination of Xingpi Yang'er Granules has shown good efficacy in treating gastrointestinal dysfunction in children with pneumonia and has good clinical value.
