Abstract

The aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy of ambroxol hydrochloride and N‑acetylcysteine in the treatment of children with bronchial pneumonia and their influence on prognosis. A total of 120 children with bronchial pneumonia, admitted to The Affiliated Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital of Qingdao University from July 2015 to August 2018, were enrolled in the study. Among them, 58 children were treated with N‑acetylcysteine and comprised the experimental group, and 62 children were treated with ambroxol hydrochloride and comprised the control group. Children's physical signs (such as fever, short breath, cough and pulmonary rales) and the adverse reactions to treatment were observed, and the disappearance time of the signs was recorded. In addition, the cellular immune function indicators and the quality of life after treatment were investigated. There was no significant difference in clinical data between the two groups (P>0.05). The effective rate in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). The disappearance time of symptoms, such as fever, cough, asthma and rales in the lung, was significantly shorter in the experimental group than that in the control group (P<0.05). The hospitalization time of patients in the experimental group was shorter than that in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, immunoglobulin A (IgA), immunoglobulin G (IgG), immunoglobulin M (IgM) and complement C3 were significantly increased in the experimental group (P<0.01), and the IgA and IgG in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.01). The incidence of adverse reactions in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). In conclusion, N‑acetylcysteine has a significant effect on the treatment of bronchopneumonia in children providing a quick relief from symptoms, such as lung rales, and therefore is worthy of use in clinic.
