Abstract: Pharyngitis and tonsillitis are common respiratory infectious diseases in childhood,and are highly prevalent in spring and fall.They can be categorized into acute and chronic stages.The acute stage is characterized by rapid onset and progression of the disease,and in severe cases,hoarseness and even respiratory difficulties may occur.In the chronic stage,the disease is prolonged due to the lack of proper treatment.Repeated pharyngitis and tonsillitis can lead to voice changes in children.At present,there are not many western medicines that can effectively treat childhood pharyngitis and tonsillitis,which are mainly antibiotic drugs,and although there are many types of traditional Chinese medicines used to clear the throat,western pediatricians are not standardized in the selection,syndrome differentiation and application of traditional Chinese medicines.Therefore,it is particularly important to explore the treatment for pharyngitis and tonsillitis in children with integrated Chinese and western medicine.This consensus firstly systematizes the Chinese and western medical understanding of pharyngitis and tonsillitis in children;secondly,it discusses its staging,etiology and main risk factors;thirdly,it clarifies its diagnostic criteria;finally,it gives a detailed elaboration on the principle of integrated Chinese and western medicine treatment for pharyngitis and tonsillitis in children and the Chinese and western medicine treatment methods.This consensus provides Chinese and western pediatricians,especially western physicians,with ideas on integrated Chinese and western medicine treatment,and further standardizes the rational selection and application of Chinese and western medicines.
