According to Dr. Vikas Mittal, Pneumologist, Director of the Department of Home Clinic and Wellness Home Sleep Center, Paschim Vihar, Delhi (India), intercranial throat inflammation is an infection caused by the bacteria streptococcus pyogenes (streptococcus group A), which can cause severe sore throat, fever and tuyen inflammation. The disease can be spread through respiratory drops or contact with contaminated surfaces.
Causes of Bacterial sore throat
Dr. Vikas Mittal says intercranial pharyngitis is caused by the bacteria streptococcus pyogenes, which is transmitted through contact with the secretion of a person or an infected object. Factors such as a weak immune system, living in a crowded environment, and lack of hygiene increase the risk of infection.
If left untreated, interstitial pharyngitis usually lasts 7-10 days. However, if treated with antibiotics, symptoms will start to improve within 24-48 hours and the disease will go away within 5-7 days. Timely treatment helps reduce the risk of complications and prevent the spread of the disease.
How to distinguish between Bacterial pharyngitis and viral pharyngitis
Intercyclal targets are a bacterial infection, while viral targets have mild symptoms and do not require antibiotic treatment.
Typical symptoms of interstitial pharyngitis include:
- Sudden and severe sore throat, especially when swallowing
- High fever (above 101°F or 38.3°C).
- Red, swollen tonsils, sometimes with white patches or pus.
- swollen, painful lymph nodes in the neck.
- No coughing, runny nose or sneezing (other than viral sore throat).
- Small red spots on the roof of the mouth and bad breath.
Meanwhile, viral sore throat often has symptoms such as:
- throat pain gradually begins.
- nasal discharge, nasal congestion, sneezing.
- Cough, slurred voice.
- Mild fever or no fever.
- Waisting and tired eyes.
