抄録

The therapeutic effect of “Kakkontoka senkyushini” was tested in 24 children with chronic sinusitis. Symptoms, nasal findings and X-rays were compared before and after treatment of 13 boys and 11 girls with an average age of 6.5 years. The dose was 2.0g per day given for 4 months. Results were very good in 5 cases (20.8%), good in 13 cases (54.2%) and poor in 6 cases (25.0%). Although the mechanism of Chinese drugs is not completely understood, these results suggest that “Kakkontoka senkyushini” is effective in chronic sinusitis in children. No side effects were observed in any of the patients in these experiments.
