VILA MORALES, Dadonim; PI OSORIA, Andrés; GIRAL RIVERA, Teresa  y  GONZALEZ-LONGORIA CONCEPCION, Rebeca. Use of propolis in pediatric chronic parotitis treatment. Rev Cubana Estomatol [online]. 2009, vol.46, n.4, pp.42-49. ISSN 0034-7507.

Objective: To analyze the results obtained applying the propolis in treatment of recurrent chronic bacterial parotitis. Methods: Propolis was administered as a therapeutical and prophylactic agent in 12 pediatric patients (10 drops of 10 % hydroalcoholic propolis) with a 2 min mouthful and then swallowed, daily over a month and cycle was repeated at two months. We made a 6 month follow up. Results: Sample was divided into 2 age groups: from 18 months to 5 years (58.3 %) and over 5 and up to 12 years (41.7 %). Male sex accounted for the 41.7 % of sample. Disease severity: Severe (33.3 %), moderate (58.3 %) and light (8.4 %). The 75 % of patients were cured and the 25 % improved, since they had some signs without need of antibiotic-therapy. Conclusions: The propolis use was efficacious in pediatric recurrent chronic parotitis treatment, decreasing the conventional antibiotic use.
