There were 5 days in a course of treatment, and the treatment lasted for 2 courses. Observe the efficacy and symptom relief time of the two groups; immunodiffusion method was used to detect IgG and IgA levels in children; immunofluorescence was used to detect CD8 and CD4 levels in children; calculate CD4/CD8.
Results
The total effective rate of observation group was 92.5%(37/40), which was significantly higher than that of control group(75.0%,30/40),the difference being statistically significant(P<0.05).The relief time of vomiting, fever and abdominal pain, and the time of bowel movements recovery were shorter in the observation group than those in the control group, the differences being  statistically significant(P<0.05). After treatment, the IgG, IgA, and CD4/CD8 in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).
