Probiotics

Theoretically, colonization of the oropharynx with nonpathogenic strains of Streptococcus species could reduce the incidence of recurrent bacterial tonsillitis. There are some indications for fewer episodes of group A beta-hemolytic streptococcal tonsillitis in children treated with oral probiotics, but randomized placebo-controlled studies are needed to establish their efficacy.[53] Addition of probiotics to penicillin treatment in patients with acute tonsillitis has not been shown to reduce symptom severity or to shorten disease duration.[53]
