After reading these two prescriptions for the treatment of mycoplasma pneumonia in children, I have the following feelings:
1. None of ephedra is used. The main symptoms of mycoplasma pneumonia are fever, severe cough, predominantly at night. Ephedra is the main medication for cough.
2. The medication is warm and dry. Children with more yang qi, drinking warm Chinese medicine may cause sore throat, and fever is even worse.
3. Too much tonics. The first recipe contains codonopsis, jujube, cannon ginger, and laurel branch; The second prescription is laurel branch, cannon ginger, and jujube. Mycoplasma pneumonia is an external disease and should not be supplemented in the early stage.
4. The types of these two prescriptions are not common symptoms of mycoplasma pneumonia. The first prescription uses Chai Guili Zhongtong plus gypsum, according to the idea of "virtual people typhoid fever built in it"; The second prescription is "Sun Yang Ming Taiyin Combined Disease". These two prescriptions are mainly based on typhoid fever, ignoring the common cough syndrome of external cold and internal heat.
