Abstract

Tonsillitis is a condition that is commonly encountered in primary care. On average 50 per 1000 patients consult their GP each year with a sore throat. Tonsillitis is a significant economic burden, with 35 000 000 days lost from work or school. Acute tonsillitis commonly affects children from the age of 4 years (highly prevalent between 4 and 8 years old) and young adults aged between 15 and 25 years old. With the emergence of multi-resistant pathogens, antimicrobial stewardship has become central to the strategies adopted by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence in the UK.
