What is a sore
throat?
A sore throat is a painful, dry or scratchy sensation in the throat. Sore
throat is one of the most common symptoms. Visit the doctor’s offices every
year for more than 13 million. Most sore throats, or environmental factors such
as dry air, are caused by infections. Although a sore throat can be
uncomfortable, it usually goes away on its own. Sore throat is divided into
varieties, depending on the part of the throat that affects it. Most of the
sore throat is caused by viruses. This means that antibiotics, which are used
to treat bacterial infections, would not help your child be faster. There is an
exception: strep throat. This condition is the result of bacteria, so
antibiotics will help. If you think your child has streptococcus, you should
see a doctor to find out.
- Pharyngitis affects the area behind the mouth.
- Inflammation and redness of tonsillitis are the tonsils, the soft tissue in the back of the mouth.
- The atmosphere of the atmosphere is the redness of the voice box, or larvae.

What are the over-the-counter medications that help relieve a sore throat?
Several over-the-counter (OTC) medications can help relieve a sore throat. Acetomy (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin) are pain relievers. These fever medications can also be reduced if the infection causes a sore throat. Avoid aspirin in children and adolescents, as it was associated with a serious illness called Reye’s syndrome. Throat lozenges and throat analgesic sprays can help relieve a sore throat for some people. (Do not give loyalty to young children, as they represent a risk of disease). Over-the-counter medications that can help relieve a sore throat due to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD):
- Antacids
- H2 Blockers
- Proton pump inhibitors (PPI)
If a work allergy or drip has a sore throat, over-the-counter antibodies and deodorants can relieve symptoms. If a sore throat is causing a cough, over-the-counter cough syrup can help reduce the cough. It was found that zinc pills reduce the duration of symptoms in patients with colds.
What can I do if I have a sore throat or strep?
There are several cases in which a child or an adult can do positive strep tests.
- The first, and most common, is that streptococcal bacteria have never been destroyed in the first place. The person did not receive all doses of prescription medications. If the person who affects you does not take a full course of antibiotics for 5 to 10 days, strep throat will not be clear. A problem can occur even when one or two doses are missing. The patient should take all medications exactly as prescribed and complete all medications, even if his throat hurts.
- People can be carriers of aspptometric streptococci (a person who always has a strip in the throat as part of their normal bacteria, but without symptoms of a sore throat). It may be necessary to test the close contacts of someone with a recurrent strep episode to find out the carriers.
- Penicillin from all throat bacteria will survive. If penicillin does not cure strep throat, the affected person should consult their doctor. In rare cases, other bacteria in the throat can clear the enzyme (penicillinase) that causes the breakdown of penicillin. This can be overcome by using drugs resistant to this enzyme.
When
you need antibiotics
Treat bacterial
infections, such as strep throat. They do not treat viral infections. You should
treat strep throat with antibiotics to prevent more serious complications, such
as pneumonia, bronchitis and rheumatic fever. Antibiotics for pain can reduce a
sore throat in one day and the risk of rheumatic fever by more than two thirds.
Doctors usually prescribe an antibiotic cycle of approximately 10 days. It is
important to take all medications in the bottle, even if you begin to feel
better. If an antibiotic is suspended prematurely, some bacteria may become
alive, which makes you sick again.
Sore Throat
Treatment
The sore throat usually lasts from a viral infection for five to seven days and
does not require medical treatment. To relieve pain and fever, many people turn
to acetaminophen (Tylenol or others) or other adults with mild pain. Consider
administering over-the-counter pain relievers designed for infants or children,
such as acetaminophen (Children Tylenol, Fever All, others) or ibuprofen
(Children Advil, Children Motrin, others), to relieve symptoms. Never give
aspirin to children or adolescents because it is related to Reye’s syndrome, a
condition that is rare but could be life threatening and creates inflammation
in the liver and brain.
Treatment of
bacterial infections.
If the sore throat or the child has a bacterial infection, your doctor or
pediatrician will prescribe antibiotics. You or your child should take the full
course of antibiotics as prescribed, even if the symptoms have disappeared. If
you do not take all medications as directed, the infection may get worse or
spread to other parts of the body. If you do not complete a full course of
antibiotics to treat strep throat, you may increase the risk of a child
experiencing rheumatic fever or severe kidney inflammation. Talk to your doctor
or pharmacist about what to do if you miss a dose.
