Objective: To investigate the effect of oral Kangmin decoction and acu-point application of traditional Chinese medicine on children with allergic rhinitis (AR)
and the influence on the levels of total immunoglobulinE (IgE)
interleukin-4 (IL-4)
interleukin-10 and (IL-10). Method: One hundred and sixteen patients with AR were divided into control group and observation group of 58 patients each
and 25 healthy subjects were assigned to a healthy control group. Patients in control group took oral 5-10 mg levocetirizine dihydrochloride tablets once daily for 4 weeks
and took budesonide nasal spray for 10 days when needed. Based on the treatment of control group
patients in observation group received oral Kangmin decoction one dose daily plus acu-point application of traditional Chinese medicine once weekly for 4 weeks.Rhinitis symptoms score was conducted before and after treatment
and attack rate of AR were recorded before and one week after treatment. Quality of life were assessed and the levels of total IgE
IL-4
IL-10 were detected before and after treatment. Result: The total clinical effective rate of 100% in observation group was better than 86.2% in control group (P<0.05). Rhinitis symptom score
AR attack rate and quality of life score after treatment in observation group were lower than those in control group (P<0.01). Blood levels of total IgE and IL-4 in patients with AR in two groups were higher
and IL-10 level was lower than those in healthy control group before and after treatment (P<0.01). The levels of total IgE
IL-4 in two groups decreased
IL-10 increased after treatment
as compared with that before treatment (P<0.01). While levels of total IgE and IL-4 were lower
IL-10 level was higher in observation group than those in control group (P<0.01). Conclusion: Based on the conventional western medicine therapy
oral Kangmin decoction and acu-point application of traditional Chinese medicine have significant short-term curative effect in treating AR
which may be achieved by reducing level of IgE and regulating balance of Thl/Th2.
