Çocuklarda tonsillofarenjit tedavisi

Çocuklarda tonsillofarenjitlerin mikrobiyolojik tanı konmaksızın tedavisi gereksiz ve aşırı antibiyotik tüketimine ve direncine yol açmaktadır. Çoğunluğu (% 85-90) viral olan tonsillofarenjitlerin antibiyotik kullanmaksızın da kendiliğinden iyileşebileceğini uygulama ile ana-babalara kanıtlamak ve aydınlatmak akılcı tedavinin gereğidir.

Treatment of pediatric tonsillopharyngitis

Empirical treatment of pediatric tonsillopharyngitis without microbiologic diagnosis causes unnecessary overuse of antibiotics and resistance. Teaching, practicing and proving parents that most episodes (85-90 %) of tonsillopharyngitis are caused by viral agents and can be cured by themselves without antibiotics must be a part of judicious treatment.
