The incidence of children's mycoplasmal pneumonia has been on the rise year after year, for which macrolides antibiotics are employed primarily. But they often stimulate stomach and intestines and occasionally cause liver injury. Chinese medications for this disease have proved effective. The effective rate is 90% over whether folk prescription, proved prescription, or differential treatment is used. Better yet is the result from Chinese-western-combined therapy. For one thing, macrolides drugs have marked bacteriostatic effect on mycoplasma, and Chinese medications can reduce stimulation to stomach and intestines caused by these drugs and improve the children's appetite. For another, some Chinese medications can enhance the bacteriostatic effect of macrolides drugs and coordinate action.
