T/CACM 007-2017 Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Treatment of Common Infectious Diseases with Traditional Chinese Medicine Alone or in Combination with Antibiotics - Acute Tonsillitis

Scope

Main technical content: In recent years, it has been found that the bacterial species causing acute tonsillitis have gradually expanded, and the number of drug-resistant strains has also gradually increased, making it more difficult to treat this disease. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has certain advantages and characteristics in the prevention and treatment of acute tonsillitis, and can play a positive role in antibacterial therapy and reducing antibiotic resistance. However, there is currently a lack of standardized guidance documents on how to highlight the advantages of TCM in treating acute tonsillitis, under what circumstances TCM can be used alone to treat acute tonsillitis, and under what circumstances it can be combined with antibiotics. This guideline fully references the methods and processes of international clinical practice guidelines, and under the guidance of relevant laws, regulations, and technical documents, it adheres to the principles of "evidence-based guidance, consensus-based decision-making, and experience-based judgment". On the basis of the best available evidence, it fully integrates expert experience and patient preferences, and formulates recommendations for the use of TCM alone and in combination with antibiotics in the treatment of acute tonsillitis based on the characteristics of TCM and clinical practice. This guideline aims to guide and standardize clinicians in the use of TCM to treat acute tonsillitis, reduce the types of antibiotics used, reduce antibiotic resistance and adverse reactions, improve clinical efficacy, and save medical and health resources. Due to the influence of factors such as the user's region, ethnicity, and race, the specific implementation of this guideline should be determined according to actual circumstances.
