The control group will receive a placebo (no therapeutic value), resembled the Laris-Hyssop distillate with the same prescription. Both groups will receive routine treatments.
Main outcome variables
Respiratory Rate (RR); Oxygen saturation (SpO2); Serum white blood cell count; serum CRP level; the number of inpatient days; Mortality
