Acute disease that caused inflammation of the tonsils, can appear and with breastfeeding. Angina in this position is much more common, because during this period there is a weakening of immunity after childbirth and an increase in susceptibility to bacteria.
Angina
This disease is a viral or bacterial nature, which is characterized by the appearance of acute inflammation of one or more tonsils. Sometimes it's enough to eat ice cream or wet your feet to get sick.
A variety of irritants entering the pharynx can also become a prerequisite. These include smoke, alcohol, or house dust. If there is inflammation of the palatine tonsils, then it becomes difficult for a person to breathe .
Pathology can be primary or secondary. The first variety more often refers to bacterial( catarrhal or purulent sore throats).It is characterized by increased sweating, weakness and fatigue, severe sore throat. Secondary angina can be observed due to improper treatment or lack of influence on the inflammation focus. The prerequisite may be measles, influenza or leukemia.
Reasons for
When breastfeeding, as in any other situation, the peak occurs during the winter months, when immunity to mucous membranes and soft palate is particularly reduced. There is a penetration of the infection into the lymphatic system, which leads to a strong inflammatory process.
The latter leads to the fact that the conditionally pathogenic microflora, which is necessarily present on our mucous in small quantities, begins to grow. But the disease is not so scary, if you contact the doctor in time to appoint the right treatment.
Symptoms of
The main manifestation is a severe sore throat. There may appear a white or gray coating on the arches and tonsils. It is combined with a sore throat and pain during swallowing. There is weakness, fatigue, a rise in body temperature and a severe headache. Under the lower jaw, too, begins to ache. This is due to the compaction and enlargement of the submandibular lymph nodes.
What is dangerous for breastfeeding?
The disease is transmitted by airborne droplets, so the possibility remains to infect the baby. During the illness, antibodies to the causative agent of the infection are produced in the mother's body, which enter the breast milk and are passed on to the baby, but the possibility to survive this infancy in infancy is preserved.
Dangerous angina in breastfeeding and the fact that many drugs penetrate into the milk, so they must be selected with extreme caution under the supervision of a doctor. There are a number of antibiotics that can lead to the appearance of irreversible problems in the future with the organs of hearing and vision of the baby.
