The main signs of angina.

Angina can be affected by everyone, and therefore, in order to understand if you are sick with angina, you should read the list of symptoms of this disease.

So, the main symptoms of angina are:

• If it's hard for you to swallow food, liquid or your own saliva, then it's already saying that you have a sore throat;

• Acute or minor sore throat. If acute, then the disease is already at the extreme stage of development;

• Increased temperature;

• Rash;

• Various headaches;

• Inflamed lymph nodes on the neck ;

• Inflamed tonsils, which sometimes combine with the release of pus;

• Increased fatigue;

• Increased drowsiness.

Sometimes it happens so that the disease runs without pain in the throat, which at times confuses. Some people are mistaken when they think: "If my throat does not hurt, then I'm not sick."

These signs of angina in adults are more common than in children. But it is worth noting that the above signs do not talk about absolute angina, because there are other diseases that can be similar to tonsillitis (the second name of angina).

To accurately diagnose, you will need to seek medical help from qualified specialists.

Signs of sore throat in children.

Children have a slightly different angina. The main signs of childhood angina include:

• Edema of the neck;

• The pain progresses, and the bacteria spread outside the tonsils in the throat;

• Spontaneous edema of the mucous membrane, tonsils and palate;

• Inflammation of the eyes, and sometimes even the eyelids;

• Skinny syat (herpes does not belong here);

• Cough;

• Pain in the abdomen;

• Drowsiness;

• Inflammation of various lymph nodes (in adults it is mostly only on the neck);

• Severe fever, which can last more than 5-7 days.

There may also be some other minor signs of sore throat that you may not notice. That's why, if your child is sick, you need to see a doctor for help. Adults most often are treated themselves, with the thought "will pass by itself". But with children this is not possible, because their body and immunity is much weaker than an adult.

But it also happens that you and your child are sick together and have the same symptoms, and it turns out that you do not suffer from angina, but a completely different disease. So, in which case do you need to worry and take action? If you and your child have the following symptoms:

• Problems with swallowing and breathing;

• Occurrence of various rashes;

• Sore throat lasts two days and does not go away;

• Sore throat, and there is no runny nose;

• Sore throat, accompanied by inflammation of the lymph nodes;

• Pain in various joints of the body;

• High temperature (higher than 38 degrees), which does not go away for a long time (from two days or more).

If your child has these symptoms, then there may have been a streptococcal infection. Pay attention to the color of the child's urine . If it has a dark, brownish hue, then perhaps you do not have streptococcus, but glomerulonephritis.

In both cases, doctors should be contacted immediately for help. It is very important to timely and accurately diagnose, because angina is considered a serious disease. If you start a disease and do not treat it, serious complications can arise. Why not make a diagnosis yourself? The fact is that angina can be mistakenly confused with diphtheria diseases.

For accurate diagnosis of angina, the physician will need to conduct physical and laboratory tests and tests. The essence of examination and diagnosis lies in the fact that the doctor must find the cause in the form of a bacterial or viral infection.

The specialist must necessarily examine your throat and tonsils. Inspection takes place using a special medical spatula. You will need to take the necessary tests, which the doctor will also appoint you. After the diagnosis is made, the child will be given appropriate treatment.
