Drug: phlegm-heat formula granules
Drug: second generation cephalosporin
Drug: Fu-xiong San
Registration Number
NCT02362906
Lead Sponsor
Liaoning University of Traditional Chinese Medicine
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine for treatment of pediatric pneumonia. It is a multicenter randomized controlled trial.

Detailed Description

The block randomization is used in this trial. Random numbers are generated by statistical analysis system(SAS) software. Statistical analysis staff and those who perform the follow-up are blinded. Sample size calculation was performed, which was 1164 , and considering drop-out or withdrawal, investigators plan to enroll 1500 patients (500 in experimental group 1, 500 in experimental group 2, 500 in experimental group 3).
