The MAIN SYMPTOMS

But what actions should you apply in case of sore throat?

Why do we ask such a question?

The answer is simple because sore throat may be a symptom either respiratory disease or quinsy. Besides these two disorders should be treated differently because respiratory disorders are caused by viruses but quinsy – bacterial infection.

Of course the treatment should be worked out by well-experienced specialist. But after the examination you may check out website and find the necessary preparations for treatment that or this disorder.

But sometimes people prefer self-medicating instead of attending the doctor that’s why you should know how to distinguish between respiratory disorders and quinsy. There are some symptoms including the main distinctive features such as if throat is covered with red and white spots, tonsils bloat it means you have a deal with quinsy.

Cough and running nose are the symptoms of acute respiratory viral infection.

The inflammation of lymph nodes is also one of the symptom of quinsy because they increase when bacteria enter the organism.

Nowadays medicine let us treat different diseases that’s why it is silly to ignore symptoms of even respiratory disorders which do not attract enough of our attention.

Quinsy, also known as a peritonsillar abscess, is a rare and potentially serious complication of tonsillitis. The abscess (a collection of pus) forms between one of your tonsils and the wall of your throat.

This can happen when a bacterial infection spreads from an infected tonsil to the surrounding area.

Acute respiratory diseases or ARD are a group of the diseases having very similar clinical and epidemiological characteristics, but etiologically are extremely various. Viruses of various groups, and bacteria can be activators of ARD as well. The most widespread infection among children is acute respiratory disease. Children of half a year till three years are extremely subject to ARD that is explained for the first time by the arising contact with a virus of this or that group. Frequent diseases children suffer are acute respiratory diseases but they can’t be regarded as decrease in immunity, they need to be considered as a result of frequent contacts with new viruses and bacteria. Most often such rise in incidence of acute respiratory diseases arises at the child after receipt in childcare centre. Subsequently at children immunity to the activators circulating in childcare centre that is shown by decrease in occurrence is formed.

We classify acute respiratory diseases depending on activator type. There distinguish three ARD groups:

• ARVI (acute respiratory viral infections) are the diseases caused by viruses. Flu, paraflu, coronaviral infection belong to this group, respiratory syncytial infection, adenoviral infection. In total about two hundred versions of ARVI exist and count. The heaviest of them is flu.
• Acute bacterial respiratory diseases. They can be caused by staphylococcus, streptococcus, pneumococcus and other bacteria. This group of diseases isn’t so numerous as ARVI, and arise bacterial diseases most often not independently but together with ARVI.
• Acute mycoplasmal respiratory diseases. The activator of this, quite rare, versions of acute respiratory diseases is mycoplasma. Acute mycoplasmal respiratory diseases are dangerous that often are complicated by pneumonia.

The clinical characteristics of all acute respiratory diseases groups is very similar. Since it is respiratory diseases, it is clear that the top airways are damaged. The beginning of a disease is acute, at the child temperature raises, there are different degree of expressiveness of running nose, cough, sore throat is more rare. The health most often suffers slightly, but sometimes (for example, at flu) symptoms of intoxication are brightly expressed and even prevail in a clinical picture of a disease (weakness, headache, ache in muscles, eye pain, etc.). All these should be treated because it is impossible to bare all these uncomfortable feelings. The only desire you have is to get rid of the.

Prevention of acute respiratory diseases is an increase of body resistance to influence of pathogenic factors. Here also the tempering procedures, and application of the immunostimulating preparations, and vitamin therapy, and also the regime moments belong: the greatest possible restriction of contacts of the child with sick people (in the period of epidemics). At some types of acute respiratory diseases, for example, at flu, the main method of prevention is immunization (carrying out inoculations). Concerning prevention of ARD consultation of the pediatrician is also obligatory. He will help to choose a hardening technique, optimum for your child, will choose for it the most suitable immunostimulating preparation.
