Abstract: (1350 Views)
Background and purpose: Violet is a plant that has received interest in complementary medicine due to its anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, and antimicrobial effects. Fever is one of the major symptoms of COVID-19. This study was conducted to determine the effect of violet extract in the form of syrup on fever in patients with COVID-19.
Materials and methods: In this randomized clinical trial, 52 patients with COVID-19 were studied in Intensive Care Unit in Amol Imam Khomeini Hospital (2021). In intervention group in addition to an injection of acetaminophen, 5 cc of violet extract syrup prepared from the aqueous extract of the plant was taken. The temperature was recorded after 30 and 60 minutes and four hours. The follow-up of the patients continued for three days and the temperature was recorded every six hours.
Results: There was a significant difference between the intervention group (36.84±0.37) and control group (37.13±0.62) in mean temperature at second time in second day of follow-up (P=0.04). Also, the mean temperature was found to be significantly different between the two groups at 30 (P=0.001) and 60 minutes (P=0.05) after the intervention. At other groups, there was no significant difference between the intervention and control groups.
Conclusion: The aqueous extract of violet plant in the form of syrup reduces fever in patients with COVID-19 causing no complication. Due to the ease of access to this herbal product, it can be used to prevent problems caused by fever.
