PG - 84-89 LID - 10.17116/otorino20208506184 [doi] AB - INTRODUCTION: Acute tonsillopharyngitis (ATP) is a very common disease in children. In non-streptococcal ATP, systemic antibiotics are usually not indicated, but topical antimicrobial therapy is advisable. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of the combination of cetylpyridinium chloride with gramicidin C in the form of a spray in children with ATP in a prospective multicenter non-interventional study. Patients and methods. The study included 94 patients aged 6-15 years with non-streptococcal ATP. A standard examination, assessment of the pain intensity in the throat using a visual analogue scale, assessment of the pain frequency during swallowing and a score assessment of objective manifestations were carried out. Sixty-eight patients of the main group received a combination of cetylpyridinium chloride with gramicidin C (Grammidin for children) in the form of a spray, 26 patients of the control group received throat irrigation with saline solution (based on sea water) for 7 days. Therapy was assessed after 1 day (by phone), 4 and 8 days (by examination). RESULTS: The groups of patients did not differ significantly in terms of demographic indicators and initial clinical manifestations. Body temperature initially did not differ, but was significantly lower in the main group after 1 (p=0.003) and 4 (p=0.04) days. The sore throat pain intensity decrease in the main group significantly exceeded this indicator in the control group after 1 (p<0.001) and 4 (p <0.001) days. Initially, swallowing pain was observed in all patients, after 4 days the complaint was significantly less frequent in the main group (p<0.001). The total assessment of objective data was significantly lower in the main group after 4 (p<0.001) and 8 (p<0.001) days. No adverse effects of pharmacotherapy were observed. CONCLUSIONS: The study showed high efficacy and safety of the cetylpyridinium chloride and gramicidin C (in the form of a spray) combination for non-streptococcal ATP in children aged 6-15 years.
