Tonsillitis is a common and frequent disease in childhood, divided into acute tonsillitis and chronic tonsillitis. Acute tonsillitis is caused by pathogens invading the tonsils. Symptoms: fever, cough, sore throat, fever in severe cases, difficulty swallowing, and examination reveals the tonsils are hyperemic, swollen and festering. The tonsils have acute attacks more than 4 times a year, which can be diagnosed as chronic tonsillitis, mostly caused by pathogens in the fossa of the tonsils. On examination, hypertrophy, hyperemia or secretion of the tonsils and enlargement of the submandibular lymph nodes can be seen

Tonsillitis is a disease that is often experienced by a person, especially often occurs in children. Based on a survey from the Indonesian Ministry of Health in 2012, the incidence of tonsillitis in Indonesia reached around 23%. Acute tonsillitis that is not properly treated can cause chronic tonsillitis, therefore it is important to know the characteristics of tonsillitis symptoms in order not to develop into chronic tonsillitis. Tonsillitis is an inflammation of the tonsils caused by infection with the Streptococcus group of bacteria or viruses which can be acute or chronic. Symptoms that often appear in tonsillitis are sore throat, difficulty swallowing and when it reaches chronic it can block the respiratory tract. The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics of tonsillitis patients in children aged 5-12 years at Rspba Bandar Lampung in 2020. The research method in this study was cross-sectional. It is known that the results of the study of tonsillitis patients in children, the most common symptom of which was pain during swallowing (40.5%), tonsillitis patients in children were often found in T2-T2 sizes (37.8%), tonsillitis patients in children were often experienced. by men (71.1%). tonsillitis patients in children are often experienced by ages 7-8 years (48.6%), the incidence of tonsillitis cases is 8.34%, the prevalence of tonsillitis cases in children aged 5-12 years is 41.1%, in children aged 5 -12 years have a lot of chronic tonsillitis. The characteristics found in tonsillitis patients aged 5-12 years, namely swallowing pain, widening of the T2-T2 tonsil size, mostly experienced by men and often occurs at 7-8 years of age, the incidence is 8.34%, prevalence in children. age 5-12 years as much as 41.1% and many children have chronic tonsillitis.

Introduction. Peritonsillar abscess is considered a suppurative complication of acute tonsillitis. It is usually unilateral and clinically evident bilateral presentation is uncommon. The condition affects mainly children older than 10 years and young adults. Herein we present a rare case of bilateral peritonsillar abscess in an infant.Presentation of Case. A 1-year-old boy presented with a two-day history of worsening sore throat, loss of appetite, vomiting, and fever. Examination of the oral cavity and oropharynx revealed enlarged and inflamed tonsils and a bilaterally congested and bulging soft palate. CT scan confirmed the hypothesis of bilateral peritonsillar abscess. Antibiotic therapy was instituted and after 5 days only slight regression of swelling of the soft palate was observed. He underwent a surgical procedure for draining the abscesses. After the procedure, he presented good clinical and laboratory evolution and was discharged home.Discussion. Although peritonsillar abscesses are considered common complications of acute tonsillitis bilateral cases are extremely rare, especially in early childhood. The diagnosis is based on history and physical examination and the treatment remains controversial among otolaryngologists.Conclusion. Bilateral peritonsillar abscess should be diagnosed and treated promptly and adequately to prevent respiratory obstruction and to avoid dissemination into the deep neck spaces.

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a heterogenous disorder of multiple disabling symptoms with complex manifestations. Network analysis is a statistical and interrogative methodology to investigate the prevalence of symptoms (nodes) and their inter-dependent (inter-nodal) relationships. In the present study, we explored the co-occurrence of symptoms in a cohort of Polish CFS patients using network analysis. A total of 110 patients with CFS were examined (75 females). The mean age of the total sample was 37.93 (8.5) years old while the mean duration of symptoms in years was 4.4 (4). Post-exertional malaise (PEM) was present in 75.45% of patients, unrefreshing sleep was noted in 89.09% and impaired memory or concentration was observed in 87.27% of patients. The least prevalent symptom was tender cervical or axillary lymph nodes, noted in 34.55% of the total sample. Three of the most densely connected nodes were the total number of symptoms, sore throat and PEM. PEM was positively related with impairment in memory or concentration. Both PEM and impairment in memory or concentration presence are related to more severe fatigue measured by CFQ and FIS. PEM presence was positively related with the presence of multi-joint pain and negatively with tender lymph nodes and muscle pain. Sore throat was related with objective and subjective autonomic nervous system impairment. This study helps define symptom presentation of CFS with the pathophysiology of specific systems and links with multidisciplinary contemporary molecular pathology, including comparative MRI.

Delayed Antibiotic Prescription

AbstractAcute bacterial tonsillitis occurs in 20 –30 % of immunocompetent children; however, the frequency of antibacterial drug prescriptions reaches up to 90 %. Delayed antibiotic prescription is recommended by current guidelines. The study objective was to determine the efficacy of phytoneering extract BNO 1030 in the technology of delayed antibiotic prescription in patients with severe acute tonsillitis.MethodsIn the multicenter, randomized, open-label, comparative study, 182 out of 200 randomized children with acute tonsillitis aged 6 –12 years completed the study. Evaluation criteria: a reduced severity of sore throat when swallowing and at rest, throat irritation at rest, hyperemia of the tonsils assessed by a physician according to a 4-point scale at each visit compared to Visit 1, dynamics of self-assessment of general well-being, intensity of sore throat and difficulty swallowing according to a 10-point visual analogue scale, frequency of antibiotic prescriptions, therapeutic benefit from BNO 1030 in days.ResultsThe use of phytotherapeutic medicinal product BNO 1030 in addition to the standard symptomatic treatment of severe acute tonsillitis provides a clinically significant, adequate reduction in the symptom severity assessed by a physician at V2 (p < 0.005). There are significant differences in the patient’s self-assessment of the symptoms from treatment Day 2 (p < 0.005). This allows to significantly reduce the duration of systemic antipyretic administration (p < 0.005). In the first days of treatment, when a decision on delay of antibiotic prescription is made, a therapeutic benefit in two days in patients of the treatment group was observed compared to the control group. The use of BNO 1030 in patients with severe acute tonsillitis significantly reduces, by 43.7 % or 2.3 times, the need for prescribing antibiotic therapy as part of the technology of delayed antibiotic prescription (p < 0.005). During treatment, no side effects and complications of the disease were recorded.ConclusionBNO 1030 is a safe and effective medicinal product for the treatment of severe acute tonsillitis in children aged 6 –12 years. It provides a significant therapeutic benefit when administered in addition to standard symptomatic therapy and reduces the irrational antibiotic prescription.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04537819https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04537819?term=ATi-2&draw=2&rank=1

Introduction: Chronic tonsillitis is an inflammation of the palatine tonsils whose complaints last more than 3 months. Chronic tonsillitis can be caused by regularly acute tonsillitis which causes tonsils permanent damage or this damage can occur if the medication is inadequate. The tonsils size and adenoids are small at <7 years old, increases in 7-15 years old and decrease in senility. Aims: To determine the relationship between age and gender with Tonsils enlargement in chronic tonsillitis patients of RSUD dr. Rasidin Hospital Padang in 2018. Method: This research is a qualitative analytic cross-sectional approach and uses a total sampling technique so that there are 70 patients with chronic tonsillitis obtained from the medical record data of RSUD dr. Rasidin Hospital Padang in 2018. The data obtained were analyzed using the SPSS program, which is the chi-square test. Result: The results showed that chronic tonsillitis sufferers by age were mostly in the 6-11 year old group as much as 26 patients (37.1%). Based on gender, most were found in women as much as 36 patients (51.4%). Based on the tonsils size, most of the T3-T3 size was 21 patients (30.0%). Based on the tonsil enlargement, most of the enlargement of tonsillar hypertrophy as many as 40 patients (57.1%). Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between age and enlargement of the tonsils (p = 0.046), and there was no significant relationship between gender and enlargement of the tonsils (p = 0.138) in patients with chronic tonsillitis in RSUD dr.  Rasidin Hospital Padang in 2018.

Despite the fact that otorhinolaryngologists are already very busy finding a solution to the problem of chronic tonsillitis, it remains unresolved. The prevalence of chronic tonsillitis does not decrease, but rather increases. Diseases of the tonsils are characteristic primarily of the child and adult working population. Chronic tonsillitis attracts attention not only as an independent disease, but as a cause of frequent local and especially systemic complications, which number more than 100. All these facts speak about the unresolved and urgency of the problem of chronic tonsil disease. In the diagnosis of neck diseases, one of the most common methods is ultrasound. It has a number of significant advantages over other methods, such as high sensitivity and specificity, the ability to detect minor changes in the organs, non-invasiveness of the study, painlessness, accessibility, and the absence of ionizing radiation. The aim of the literature review is to identify, analyze, and systematize literature data on the application of the ultrasonic research method in neck organ pathology. Ultrasound diagnostics in the neck is widely used and is actively studied in acute inflammatory-purulent pathology (paratonsillar abscesses, phlegmon), in the pathology of the larynx and trachea, salivary and thyroid glands, as well as in the metastasis of malignant neoplasms to the lymph nodes. There are several methods for diagnosing lymph nodes, such as: puncture and excision biopsy, lymphography, scintigraphy, thermography and ultrasound ultrasound. Despite such a variety of diagnostic methods, ultrasound is the method of choice for imaging cervical lymph nodes. One of the most modern methods in ultrasound diagnostics is elastography. This method is most informative in cases when changes in tissues are small in size and cannot be detected using standard ultrasound modes.
