The control group was treated with routine western medicine, the treatment group 1 was treated with oral antelope horn powder on the basis of control group, the second group was treated with auricular point application on the basis of treatment group 1, and the time of symptom relief and clinical cure were observed in each group. Related immune function and related inflammatory factors, serum neuron-specific enolase (NSE), safety index. Results: In treatment group 1, the time of herpes regression, antipyretic, antispasmodic time and clinical cure time were shorter than those of control group, and the time of treatment 2 group was shorter than that of group 1 (P < 0.05). The levels of CD3, CD4 and CD8 were increased after treatment in the three groups, especially in the treatment group (P < 0.05), and the levels of TNF- α and IL-2,IL-6,IL-10 were decreased after treatment in the three groups, especially in the treatment group (P < 0.05).
