Strep throat and acute laryngitis - the constant companion of acute respiratory viral infection. To let you know about themselves, they can appear at any time from the onset of illness. Alternatively, a sore throat and hoarseness - this is the harbingers of a cold or the symptoms joined after a cold has already appeared. Such joint damage caused by the anatomical proximity and functional interdependence of the pharynx and larynx. Not for nothing to ease these two separate from one another body called the "throat". Even the symptomatic treatment will help to accelerate the healing process.

Strep throat - a catarrhal inflammation of the pharynx and soft palate. Unlike angina, does not cause severe pain in the throat, but an annoying "tickle" constantly remind itself?

Acute laryngitis - inflammation of the mucous membrane of the larynx and its folds (vocal cords). Swelling of the vocal cords seen hoarseness and a feeling of "rawness" in the throat.

When strep throat is never raids on the tonsils, which comes with angina.

Children strep throat occurs at high temperature. When viewed from the pharynx, the mucosa is inflamed, enlarged, sometimes to her puromucous raids, sometimes on the back of the throat act as red grains of individual follicles, swollen tongue.

Diagnosis-throat-placed by examination pharynx: marked hyperemia, edema and infiltration of the mucosa posterior wall of the pharynx, pharyngeal arches, and sometimes the soft palate. Lateral strep throat determined hyperemia and edema of the lateral pharyngeal ridges. Distinguish viral from bacterial strep throat, relying only on visual examination of the data is difficult. In both cases, pharynx scope mucosa of the pharynx can be weakly or strongly hyperemic inflamed and covered with foil or purulent exudates. Fever, cervical lymph empathy and leukocytes observed and viral, and bacterial strep throat, but perhaps the last time they were more pronounced.

Therapeutic measures for sore throat include the following manipulations.
