Article Synopsis
- A study evaluated the effectiveness of a dietary supplement called PediaFlù, containing honey, propolis, and zinc, for treating children aged 3 to 10 with acute tonsillopharyngitis, comparing it to standard care alone.* -
- The results showed that combining PediaFlù with standard care led to significant improvements in symptoms like throat pain and swallowing by days 4 and 6.* -
- There were no adverse events reported, suggesting that PediaFlù could be a safe and effective addition to pediatric treatment for reducing unnecessary antibiotic use.*

Background: A dietary supplement containing Pelargonium sidoides extract, propolis, zinc, and honey has been recently developed and proven to be an effective adjuvant in clinical practice for seasonal diseases and the treatment of respiratory tract disorders.
Objective: This trial aims to verify the efficacy of the tested dietary supplement in a pediatric population with acute tonsillopharyngitis/rhinopharyngitis (ATR).
Methods: The trial includes children aged between 3 and 10 years with ATR ≤48 h, a negative rapid test for beta-hemolytic streptococcus or culture identification of nasal and/or pharyngeal exudates, and SARS-CoV-2 infection.
