Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical efficacy of Flos Magnoliae volatile oil nano-liposome nasal drops (FMO) in treating pediatric allergic rhinitis (PAR). METHODS: Adopting parallel controlled method, the 191 patients with PAR were randomized into two groups. The observation group was treated with FMO, and the control group with Cetirizine. The clinical efficacy, main symptoms, signs, syndromes scores of Chinese medicine, and peripheral eosinophil (EOS) count were observed after 3-week treatment. RESULTS: In the observation group, the total effective rate was 94.84%, which was higher than that in the control group (78.72%); the effective rate on alleviating main symptoms (sneezing, nasal obstruction), signs (nasal mucosa edema, pallor) and the EOS count were significantly lowered, all were better than those in the control group (P <0.05). CONCLUSION:FMO has some positive effects on PAR, it might be realized by lowering the peripheral EOS.
