Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of treating with acute tonsillitis using Reyanning mixture alone/in combination with antibiotics, and its function of reducing the use of antibiotics.
Detailed description
In order to evaluate the efficacy,safety and the function of reducing the use of antibiotics of Reyanning mixture (a mixture of Chinese herbal medicine) in treating with acute tonsillitis, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter clinical trials will be established. According to the relevant regulations of the China Food and Drug Administration(CFDA), 144 cases need to be registered at least. The aim population is who suffering of acute tonsillitis from October 2018 to December 2019.These cases will be randomly divided into treatment group 1(Reyanning mixture +amoxil capsule simulator),treatment group 2(Reyanning mixture +amoxil capsule) and control group(Reyanning mixture simulator +amoxil capsule).Each group will be treated for 7 days and followed up for 3 times . The main indicators include the recovery time/rate and antibiotic duration/dosage. And the vanish rate of single symptom/physical sign, the ratio of white blood cell count(WBC) recovery, the time of fever will be observed as well.

Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| antibiotic duration | after 7 days of medication | The duration of antibiotic will be observed. |
| recovery rate | after 3 days of medication | The recovery rate will be observed. Recovery means that the main signs and symptoms score is zero, and body temperature is below 37.3 ℃ maintaining for at least 24 hours. |
| recovery time | after 3 days of medication | The recovery time will be observed. Recovery means that the main signs and symptoms score is zero, and body temperature is below 37.3 ℃ maintaining for at least 24 hours. |
| antibiotic dosage | after 7 days of medication | The dosage of antibiotic will be observed. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| the time of fever relieving | after 7 days of medication | The time of fever relieving means that the duration from the first medication to the body temperature drops below 37.3℃ maintaining for at least 24 hours. |
| the vanish rate of single symptom/physical sign | after 3 days of medication | The single symptom/physical sign include tonsil redness, pharyngeal pain, and fever. |
| the ratio of WBC recovery | after 7 days of medication | The ratio of WBC recovery refers to the percentage of white blood cell count which return to normal range after 7 days of medication. |
Other
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
