Clinical study of traditional Chinese medicine fumigation in the treatment of allergic rhinitis

Abstract

Objective: To study the clinical effect of traditional Chinese medicine fumigation on treating allergic rhinitis.

Methods: 80 cases of patients with allergic rhinitis in our hospital from August 2020 to August 2021 were selected and then randomly divided into two groups. In this research, the combination of montelukast sodium tablets and cetirizine was used in the control group. Traditional Chinese medicine fumigation was given in addition to oral medication in the treatment group.

Results: The total effective rate of the clinical treatment in the treatment group was higher than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (p < .05). It took less time to relieve nasal itching, runny nose, nasal congestion, and sneezing in the treatment group than in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (p < .05). Besides, the symptoms were much more relieved in the treatment group than in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant.

Conclusions: Traditional Chinese medicine fumigation shows a remarkable clinical effect on the treatment of allergic rhinitis, and it is worthy of clinical application.
