Abstract Objective: To explore the effect of silica gel scraping on the treatment of mycoplasma pneumonia (MPP) in children. Methods: 76 children with MPP were divided into the control group and the intervention group by the random number table method, with 38 cases in each group. The control group received pediatric routine intervention measures, while the intervention group received scraping intervention with silicone gel on the basic of the control group. The therapeutic effect, duration of main symptoms, TCM syndrome score and serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, recurrence times of fever and cough were compared between patients in both groups after one week of treatment. Results: The total effective rate of intervention group was 94.74 % , higher than 78.95 % of control group, which was of statistical difference (P<0.05); the duration of symptoms of fever, cough, wheezing and pulmonary rales in the intervention group was shorter than that in the control group, and the recurrence of fever and cough was less than that in the control group (P<0.05); after one week of intervention, the TCM syndrome score and serum CRP level in both groups were significantly decreased, and the intervention group were decreased than the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Scraping with silica gel can shorten the duration of symptoms, reduce the recurrence times and increase the therapeutic effect in children with MPP.
