All the patients were treated with Sanfeng Tongqiao Diwan for a period of 7 days. Return visits were carried out 24 hours after the first medication, the 4th day of medication, and the 7th day of medication, during which the efficacy and safety were assessed.Results: The effective rates of Sanfeng Tongqiao Diwan at 24 hours, 4 days, and 7 days were 49.2%, 60.7%, and 65.6%, respectively. Comparing the severity of various symptoms after treatment to baseline, significant differences were found in nasal secretion (2.95±0.67 vs.
Objective. To explore the clinical effect of Sanfeng Tongqiao Diwan in the treatment of allergic rhinitis. Methods. Allergic rhinitis patients included in this study were randomly divided into control group and study group for 7 days of treatment. The control group was treated with Tongqiao Biyan Pian, while the study group was treated with Sanfeng Tongqiao Diwan. Results. After 7 days of treatment, the total effective rate of Sanfeng Tongqiao Diwan was 75.76%, which was higher than that of Tongqiao Biyan Pian (65.62%). The scores of visual analogue scale (VAS), symptom relief, Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire (RQLQ), and Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS) in both groups were significantly improved before and after treatment (
