(Medical-NewsWire.com, November 29, 2012 ) San Francisco, CA -- Researchers have found that corticosteroids can help increase the recovery rate regarding painful or sore throats.
The analysis by Cochran from eight randomized trials, comprised of 750 adults and children, expressed that taking corticosteroids allowed patients to be three times more likely to avoid pain after 24 hours of treatment.
Individuals that took the treatment were four times as likely to have no soreness or pain within 24 hours. Corticosteroids reduced the onset time of pain relief and the mean time needed to complete resolution of pain by as little as six hours.
The UK and Australian researchers admitted that the use of antibiotics were also used in the most recent studies. Because of this fact, the evidence was noted as ‘lacking’ for the overall benefit of the specific steroid.
Dr. Matthew Thompson, a General Practitioner from Oxford and a clinical researcher at the University of Oxford, stated that steroids are not widely utilized in the United Kingdom for sore throats. He also noted that they can be a powerful anti-inflammatory, and small doses can be considered safe for most patients.
Thompson stated, ‘The take-home message for GPs is that using a single dose of steroids in patients with sore throat seems to provide some therapeutic benefit.
Thompson was willing to admit that GPs do not need or want to encourage patients to see a professional every time they have a sore throat. “But for a small subset, maybe those with a really sore throat, or who have something important at work or school or social occasion they really need to get better for, a single dose of steroids is an option,” he said.
“Of course GPs still need to decide whether an antibiotic might help in patients with possible pyogenic strep, and to make sure there isn’t something else causing the sore throat.”
