Acute sore throat is a common reason for pediatric visits to primary care physicians, with an estimated 15%-30% of such cases caused by group A streptococci. The study we look at today included 156 patients age 4-15 with sore throat for less than seven days that also met at least 2 of the following criteria: fever, no cough, swollen/tender neck lymph nodes, and tonsillar exudates. They were assigned to 3 groups: 1. Penicillin for seven days. 2. Penicillin for three days and placebo for 4 days 3. Placebo for 7 days. The main measure was days to complete resolution of pain and throat swabs were taken. The duration of symptoms in all three groups was essentially identical, as were the side effects, number of days missed from school, and recurrence of sore throats over 6 months. The authors conclude: “No rationale exists for treatment with antibiotics in most children with sore throat, irrespective of the presence of streptococci. This finding is in agreement with the Dutch and Scottish guidelines on the management of sore throat.” As T have written in a previous column, most Pediatrician’s report feeling pressured by their patient’s mothers to do something (usually demanding an antibiotic, and sometimes - horror of horrors - asking for one to be prescribed over the phone.) So give your Pediatrician a break if she suggests watchful waiting for little Johnny’s sore throat. Even if your child has group A streptococci (the really bad bug), he is not likely to do any better with an antibiotic. For more information on drugless health care, call Dr. Madeira today.
