Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of the eucalyptol,limonene and pinene enteric soft capsules (mucoregulatory agents) in preventing from tympanum fluid in children.Methods A total of 341 children (497 ears) with acute otitis media were randomly divided into two groups:the experimental group and the control group.The experimental group was given symptomatic treatment and oral in-take of the eucalyptol,limonene and pinene enteric soft capsules,while the control group with acute otitis media received conventional symptomatic treatment.All the patients were followed-up 7 and 14 days after treatment.Clinical data were collected,including symptoms,and tympanogram changes.Results Seven days after the initial treatment,tympanum fluid occurred in 110 cases of 170 ears(65.09%,110/170) in the control group,and in 51 cases of 70 ears (29.65%,51/172) in the experimental group.The difference was statistically significant (P<0.01).After 14 days,41 cases (66 ears)of tympanum fluid occurred in the control group (24.26%,41/169),32 cases(36 ears) of otitis media (18.60%,32/172) occurred in the experimental group.The difference was statistically significant (P<0.01).In the control group,the tympanum fluid disappeared in 54 cases(60 ears) after regular treatment 72.0%,54/75),and reliefed in 15 cases(22 ears) with irregular treatment (42.86%,15/35).The difference was statistically significant (P<0.01).Conclusion Eucalyptol,limonene and pinene enteric soft capsules can effectively reduce the incidence of tympanum fluid in children with acute otitis media.Mucoregulatory agents may promote the eduction of effusion.
