RESULTS
The clinical result showed that the antitussive, expectorant, anti-asthmatic effect and resolution of dry and moist rale and wheezing of FCOL were significantly better in treatment group than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Animal experimental results also showed that antitussive, expectorant, anti-asthmatic effect of FCOL were significantly better than those of the control group (P < 0.05-0.001). Bacteriostatic test in vitro showed that FCOL could inhibit streptococcus pneumoniae, klebsiella pneumoniae, influenza bacilli and staphylococcus aureus.
