The therapeutic effect of both groups are evaluated after a duration of treatment, and the clinical symptoms before and after treatment and other relative factors associated with the effect are observed.Results:The effective rate of AR therapy group is higher than the control group, which is treated by Ambroxol Hydrochloride. Besides, patients'symptoms as cough, expectoration, apocleisis, tongue coating, are better alleviated in therapy group than that of control group. Before treatment, there was no significant difference among the two groups (P>0.05).
