Additionally, Chinese Medicine group was separately given modified Gegen Qinlian Decoction for patients with damp-heat syndrome, modified Huoxiang Zhengqi Decoction for patients with wind-cold syndrome, modified Baohe Pills for patients impaired by overeating, modified Shenling Baizhu Powder for patients with spleen deficiency syndrome;probiotics group received Probiotic Bifidobacterium Triple Viable Enteric Capsules;the control group was given oral use of Smecta. Daily defecation frequency and stool characteristics were recorded,and the clinical efficacy was analyzed on treatment day 3 and 5. Results(1)After treatment for 3 days,the total effective rate of the 3 groups arrived to 100%,the difference being insignificant between the 3 groups (P > 0.05);after treatment for 3 days, Chinese medicine group had higher markedly effective rate than probiotics group and control group,the difference being significant (P < 0.05). (2) After treatment for 3 and 5 days,the defecation frequency of the 3 groups was much reduced as compared with that before treatment (P < 0.05), and the improvement of defecation frequency in Chinese medicine group was superior to that in probiotic group and control group, the difference being significant (P <0.05). (3)The mean course of disease in Chinese medicine group was shorter than that in probiotic group and control group,the difference being significant (P < 0.05).
