Effects of Ayres Sensory Integration Therapy Versus Conservative Treatment in Autism Spectrum
Recurrent Streptococcus pyogenes pharyngotonsillitis infection in children presents a significant health concern, characterized by frequent episodes of sore throat, fever, and swollen tonsils. These recurrent infections can lead to missed school days, discomfort, and potential complications if left untreated. Current treatment typically involves antibiotics to eradicate the bacterial infection. However, drawbacks exist with this approach, including the risk of antibiotic resistance, disruption of the gut microbiota, and potential adverse effects such as gastrointestinal upset or allergic reactions. Moreover, antibiotics do not prevent future episodes and may contribute to recurrent infections by disrupting the balance of the throat microbiome. Therefore, there is a growing interest in alternative approaches such as probiotics, which aim to support the body's natural defenses and restore microbial balance in the throat and oral cavity.
