Two weeks are a course of treatment for two courses. Serum related factors: IgE,histamine(HIS),interleukin 4 (IL-4) levels and rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life scale (RQLQ) scores were compared between the two groups. Results ① The levels of serum IgE,HIS and IL-4 in the two groups decreased after treatment,the difference in the two groups was statistically significant(P < 0. 05). The decrease in the treatment group was significantly greater than that in the control group,it was statistical significance (P < 0. 05). ② The scores of RQLQ in the two groups were significantly lower after treatment,the difference in the groups was statistically significant(P < 0. 05). The difference between the two groups was statistically significant(P < 0. 05). ③ The efficacy was compared,the effective rate of the treatment group was 89. 36%,which was significantly higher than that of the control group (50. 08%), the difference was statistically significant.
