The purpose of this report is to describe the effects of Qingfei Paidu decoction (QPD) and QPD without Ephedra Herba on COVID-19 patients. One COVID-19 patient was treated with QPD and two others who had been sensitive to ephedra were treated with QPD without it. The fever, cough, and sore throat of all three were monitored three times a day through non-face-to-face assessment for a total of five to seven days, and cough and throat pain changes were evaluated with a numeric rating scale (NRS). After treatment, the fever and NRS scores were improved for all three patients. These results indicate that both QPD and QPD without Ephedra Herba is an effective treatment for COVID-19 symptoms.
