Sore throat is a companion of respiratory diseases, called common colds, and therefore most people face this symptom at least once a year. Those who are prone to angina, the situation is more serious - this pain is particularly strong, and the disease itself is quite dangerous. We shall understand, what pills from a sore throat are actual at this or that disease.
Causes of sore throat
During acute respiratory infections, people complain of dryness, perspiration and burning in the throat due to pharyngitis or laryngitis. In the first case, the upper part of the posterior wall of the throat reddens - this is clearly visible in the mirror. With laryngitis, the inflammatory process affects the lower part of the pharynx and the vocal cords, because this disease is characterized by a temporary loss of voice - full or partial. Pharyngitis and laryngitis, usually accompanied by a cold and very rarely have a bacterial nature. Body temperature, as a rule, in these cases does not rise above 37.5 ° C. A plentiful warm drink brings relief to the patient. Antibiotics in the treatment of such inflammation are not effective.
But angina or tonsillitis very rarely have a viral nature. More often they are caused by streptococci and staphylococci, representing an inflammation of the palatine tonsils - they are covered with pus or just blush against the background of the non-inflamed posterior wall of the larynx. The disease is accompanied by high fever and severe pain, which does not allow the patient to swallow. In this case, antimicrobial tablets are needed from the pain of the throat and sprays with an antibiotic. Exacerbation of symptoms usually occurs in the evening.
