Abstract:
Acute tonsillopharyngitis (ATP) is an infectious inflammation of the mucous membrane and lymphadenoid structures of the oropharynx. Sore throat, as the main symptom of ATP, is the most common reason for seeking outpatient medical care or self-medication. Topical therapy of sore throat in the treatment of non-streptococcal ATP is the most effective and safe. In the article, based on their own experience and literature data, the problem of treating patients with sore throat with ATP of non-streptococcal etiology is presented. At the Department of Otorhinolaryngology of the Evdokimov Moscow State Medical University conducted a study to study the clinical features of the course of ATP and improve the results of local treatment of patients with this pathology. In the course of the study, 75 people were examined, in whom subjective and objective symptoms were assessed. Our study showed that the use of the drug Doritricin demonstrated high efficacy in the treatment of patients with ATP, which contributed to an earlier regression of inflammatory-infiltrative changes in the pharynx, as well as a faster decrease in the level of pain syndrome according to the scores of the visual-analog pain scale.
