Infectious inflammation, causing the pathology of the glands and other organs of the oropharynx, is united under the common name "angina".Before the appearance of antibiotics in medicine, sore throat was a deadly disease for humans. Despite all the negative side effects of these drugs, there is no better remedy for bacterial infections in medicine.
What is angina: the etiology of the disease
Streptococcal microorganisms most often cause typical manifestations of this infectious disease, but staphylococci, spirochaetes and many rod bacteria can also be responsible for the sudden development of bacterial sore throat.
Viral infections that do not have their own cells attack the cells of the body and, rapidly multiplying inside them, lead to their further death. There are no drugs killing viruses. Therapy is aimed only at fighting the symptoms.
Candidiasis( lesions of the oropharynx organs by microscopic fungi) are atypical forms of the disease, and their treatment is carried out according to another scheme.
Symptoms of angina
What kinds of diseases can be cured without antibiotics
Antibiotics are strong antibacterial drugs. Trying to cure them of viral sore throats is useless. Immunity from the effects of antibiotics is greatly weakened, its functionality is reduced. The use of such drugs can only aggravate the symptoms of viral sore throat, complicate therapy and lead to the emergence of mixed infections.
Without antibiotics, it is sometimes possible to cure the initial stages of scarlet fever or stomatitis angina.
With great care and rarely practice antibiotic therapy for agranulocyte angina.
Whether antibiotics are always needed for the treatment of angina in a child, says Dr. Komarovsky:
Therapy features of
When viral forms of infection are important, remove dangerous symptoms and help immunity itself cope with the virus. To remove acute symptoms use:
- Antihistamine tablets.
- Antiseptic sprays and solutions.
- Inflammatory medications.
- Antipyretic.
- To stabilize the immune forces, vitamin complexes are necessary, some physiotherapeutic procedures are useful.
Candidiasis lesions of the oropharynx and its individual organs are prescribed antifungal drugs.
How to distinguish viral sore throat from bacterial:
When antibacterial drugs can not be dispensed with
Tonsillitis, provoked by any bacteria, can not be cured without antibiotics. These are the following forms:
- Follicular( purulent).
- Syphilitic.
- Ulcerative - necrotic.
- Diphtheritative.
- Lacunar.
- Fibrinous.
- Catarrhal.
Hazard of self-treatment
Treatment can be prescribed only after a diagnosis based on thorough research. Without determining the type of pathogen, the self-selected therapy can be planned incorrectly, which always leads to complications of the disease or its overgrowth into the chronic form.
Antibiotics can bring not only an invaluable benefit in the fight against bacteria, but also a significant harm to human health.
Uncontrolled treatment with such drugs is fraught with the following consequences:
- Allergies.
- Adapting to a medicine( loss of its effectiveness).
- Digestive dysfunction.
- Toxic shock.
- Reproduction of fungal infection.
- Avitaminosis.
- Diseases of the liver.
- Dysbacteriosis.
Why there is an allergy to antibiotics, says Dr. Komarovsky:
