    Angina in the child
    Angina (aka - acute tonsillitis) is one of the most
    common infectious diseases in children, starting
    from the age of seven months.
    Angina in a child is provoked mainly by viruses and bacteria. It
    is the bacteria that initiate angina in childhood in about a third
    of all cases. In 90-95% of cases, the causative agent is β-
    hemolytic streptococcus. Viral forms of tonsillitis occur more
    often at the age of up to 3 years.

    In newborns and infants of the first months of life, there is


    often no angina as such, but acute nasopharyngitis.

    Angina in infants and young children is rare, and it is extremely


    difficult, therefore in this situation, only inpatient treatment is
    needed.
    Symptoms of the disease
    Symptoms of angina in children are the same, regardless
    of the infectious agent that triggered the disease:

    1.Acute onset of the disease, body temperature up to 40


    degrees;
    2.Chills and cold sweat;
    3.Sharp pains in the throat;
    4.Swelling of the tonsils, tongue and throat walls;
    5.Rashes on the tonsils;
    6.Loss of appetite or refusal of food, general lethargy.
    Streptococcal angina
    differentiates with viral by the
    presence or absence of discharge
    from the nose and cough.
    Sometimes the soreness of
    cervical and submandibular
    lymph nodes is noted.
    Diagnostics

    For the selection of adequate therapy, differential diagnosis


    of the bacterial and viral etiology of the disease is
    necessary. Although with these pathologies, the symptoms
    are similar. This is important in the selection of antibiotics
    necessary to eliminate the bacteria and stop possible
    complications.

    The main criterion for the diagnosis is the culture test of the
    throat smear for hemolytic streptococcus. To date, there are
    express methods that allow you to quickly identify this
    infectious agent in 90% of cases.
    Treatment

    Treatment of angina in children, provoked


    by streptococcal infection, requires the use
    of antibiotics. These drugs are selected
    based on the sensitivity of the infectious
    agent, determined on the basis of sowing.

    The doctor chooses from penicillins,


    cephalosporins or macrolides. They can be
    used in a tablet form or in syrups for the
    youngest, and also, at the doctor's
    discretion, in complicated cases, injectable
    or infusional.
    The goal of antibiotic therapy is the complete elimination of the
    infectious agent from the body. Such tactics are needed to prevent
    relapse, and to prevent the emergence of strains of bacteria resistant
    to the action of this antibiotic. The main thing is not to interrupt the
    treatment, even if the child's condition is normal.

    In addition to antibiotics, angina can also be treated with inhalants


    and sprays containing substances for the sanation of the mucous in
    the pharynx (inhalipt, oraspet, tantum verde). There are antibiotics in
    sprays (bioparox).
