Tonsillopharyngitis. The role of local anti-inflammatory therapy
https://doi.org/10.21518/2079-701X-2018-6-56-60
Abstract
The article presents the diagnostic and therapeutic features of acute tonsillopharyngitis (ATP) taking into account the viral and bacterial aetiology of the disease. It discusses the cases when the systemic antibacterial therapy should be prescribed, considers various approaches to assessing the aetiology of ATP, evaluation of clinical signs and symptoms included in the Centor scores and rapid diagnostics tests. It stresses that the use of antibiotics should be strictly justified taking into account the proven bacterial aetiology of the disease or suspicion on the same. In most cases, systemic antibiotic therapy is not necessary, since viral tonzillofaringitis is more common than bacterial. At the same time, drugs for local therapy - antiseptics, topical antibiotics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which reduce local manifestations of inflammatory reaction in the pharynx, become more important. The efficacy of Septolete total tablets containing a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent benzidamine and an antiseptic agent cetylpyridinium chloride is proved on clinical cases.
