OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of infantile umbilical paste (IUP) in abating infantile fever. METHODS: Two hundred and twenty cases were randomly divided into two groups, the 120 cases in Group A were treated with IUP and the 100 cases in Group B treated with compound Aspirin (APC). The effect in abating fever and side-effects were observed. RESULTS: The total effective rate of the two groups were not statistically different (P > 0.05). But a better effect in abating fever was shown in Group A 4 hrs later (P < 0.01). The effect in patients of age under 1 year was the best. CONCLUSION: IUP has good effect in abating infantile fever, and it shows no influence on white blood cells, liver and kidney functions.
