Introduction. Cough accompanies an acute infectious process in the respiratory tract. The article focuses on the symptomatic treatment of cough using a modern herbal preparation with complex action and standard therapy.Goal. To study the effects of a herbal preparation with complex action in the treatment of cough in children.Materials and methods. The study included 72 patients of both sexes (mean age 14.6 ± 2.3 years) with a symptom of unproductive/unproductive cough, against the background of acute bronchitis or community-acquired pneumonia.Results and discussion. When using a herbal preparation with complex action was used in ¾ of the children, cough decreased by the 3rd day and in most patients it stopped by the 10 th day. The severity of daytime and nighttime coughs decreased by 3.0–3.5 points, the number of seizures decreased to 2–4 per day, the duration of seizures also decreased significantly, the median of this indicator in the main group reached 0 points. In both groups, the proportion of patients with seizure frequency of no more than 4 per day increased. While taking a herbal preparation, a more pronounced decrease in all indicators of cough by 3.5 times was noted throughout the treatment, and the corresponding effects developed 3 days ahead of time against the background of a full course of therapy. The average value of the efficacy and safety assessment given by the medical researchers to the action of the herbal preparation with complex action was 3.6 points. Analysis of objective and subjective data based on the results of evaluating case histories and individually developed questionnaires for patients on drug tolerance showed equivalence in terms of excellent and good results. Against the background of the full course of treatment with the herbal preparation, a 1.8 times more pronounced decrease in the characteristics of the cough syndrome was noted.Conclusion. The drug has shown high efficacy and safety, which makes it possible to recommend it as a symptomatic therapy for cough in school-age children as part of a combination or monotherapy.

ABSTRACTChronic and recurrent abdominal pains are common complaints in children and adolescents, but the evaluation in the emergency department (ED) can be challenging. We present a rare yet serious case of a 17-year-old white female who presented to the ED with a 2-day history of diffuse abdominal pain, nausea, and intractable vomiting. Abdominal examination and imaging, including computed tomography (CT), were negative during an episode 6 weeks previously. This was her fifth similar episode in a 2-month period, and she had been seen at three different hospitals and admitted on each occasion. Three days prior to presentation to our ED, she was seen at a gastroenterology clinic and diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome and an ovarian cyst. Symptomatic therapy during the current presentation, with intravenous fluids, antiemetics, and parenteral narcotics, failed to alleviate her abdominal pain and vomiting. Emergent CT evaluation revealed a high-grade colonic obstruction with focal circumferential narrowing in the transverse colon and a lower gastrointestinal follow-through radiograph with Gastrografin enema showed a classic “apple-core” lesion. Colonic adenocarcinoma with positive regional lymph nodes was found during emergent exploratory laparotomy. Pediatric patients with recurrent, episodic abdominal pain should undergo systematic evaluation and symptomatic treatment. A previous negative workup should not dissuade emergency physicians from proceeding with a systematic and thorough evaluation of the pediatric patient presenting with abdominal pain and vomiting.

Pneumonia is most common cause of respiratory distress an infection of the pulmonary parenchyma. Despite being the cause of significant morbidity and mortality, it is often misdiagnosed, mistreated, and underestimated. Pneumonia historically was Typically classified as community-acquired (CAP), hospital-acquired (HAP), or ventilator-associated (VAP). A 68-year-old male was sent to the emergency department from clinic with an oxygen saturation of 86%. She has fevers with cough and generalized weakness for one week. She had been evaluated by her primary care provider on day two of illness and was started empirically on cefixime without improvement of her symptoms. The patient arrived febrile, tachycardic, tachypneic, and hypoxic on room air with right-sided crackles on exam. Lung Ultrasound of the right lower lobe demonstrates lung hepatization, a classic finding for pneumonia. In addition, a shred sign is present with both air bronchograms and focal B lines-all suggestive of poorly aerated, consolidated lung. Authors critically evaluate the evidence for the use lung ultrasound for rapid diagnostic. It is important to understand this disease, rapid diagnostic with ultrasound and when treated promptly and effectively, these patients will rapidly recovery. Good oxygenation, intravenous Antibiotic, intravenous fluids and symptomatic treatment which should be started within minutes of the patients’ arrival to emergency department.

Introduction: Common cold is frequently occurring medical condition in developing countries like India. Common cold is self-limiting in nature so symptomatic treatment is always suggested. This study was conducted to test the efficacy and safety for the fixed dose combination of Paracetamol 500 mg, Phenylephrine Hydrochloride 10 mg and Chlorpheniramine Maleate 2 mg per tablet for the treatment of common cold. Methodology: Total 180 patients were enrolled out of which 159 completed the study. Efficacy assessment was done by decrease in total symptom score (TSS) of common cold at day 3 and 5 as compared to the baseline (day 1). Safety assessment was made by analyzing the reported adverse events through the study. Results: Mean TSS at baseline was 6.62 which was decreased to 3.55 at day 3 and was further decreased to 0.68 at day 5. Majority of patients had complete relief from the symptoms of common cold and nearly all the patients had >50 % reduction in TSS. Also no unexpected or serious adverse event was found to be reported in the study duration of 5 days. Conclusion:  Fixed dose combination of Paracetamol 500 mg, Phenylephrine Hydrochloride 10 mg and Chlorpheniramine Maleate 2 mg per tablet was found to be efficacious and safe for the symptomatic treatment of common cold in Indian patients. Keywords: Common cold, Paracetamol, Chlorpheniramine Maleate and Phenylephrine
