September 25, 2005 Resources Infant Health Sore Throats Sore Throats Does your child's sore throat mean a dose of antibiotics? Only if it's a proven case of strep say the experts. Does your child have a sore throat? While viruses cause most sore throats, the streptococcus bacteria, otherwise know as strep, usually cause those that are accompanied by headache and fever. Thankfully, in this day and age of antibiotics, strep throat is not nearly the dreaded illness that it once was, says pediatrician, Dr. Diane Sacks. "In the past, 50 or 60 years ago, it was a very serious infection that was feared because it led to serious heart problems, rheumatic fever or problems in the kidney. Fortunately, penicillin came along and it killed strep very effectively." Dr. Sacks adds that strep can still lead to scarlet and rheumatic fever if left untreated, so if your child has a very severe sore throat and swollen glands, the doctor needs to take a throat swab, and if it turns out positive, medicine must be taken for its full coarse of treatment to prevent some of the secondary side effects." Still, don't assume that your child will be prescribed antibiotics even when it appears to be strep. Overuse of antibiotics has been blamed for the development of some strains of antibiotic resistant bacteria. Therefore, most doctors won't prescribe them unless the signs of strep are very clear and the swab is positive, says pediatrician Dr. William Feldman, editor of "The 3AM Handbook". He adds "people are developing guidelines that predict strep throat a little better. Now if the child with a sore throat, has a runny nose, no fever and there's nothing to see in the throat, then the chances of this being strep throat are quite remote."

While sore throat is often used synonymously with strep throat and tonsillitis, a sore throat may be the symptom of any number of underlying disorders. WHAT CAUSES A SORE THROAT? In preschool children, a sore throat is frequently caused by a virus. The respiratory viruses that cause colds and flu prevail during the winter and spring months, while the Coxsackie virus is more common in the summer and fall months. This type of sore throat may be accompanied by a high fever, difficulty in swallowing and physical discomfort. A strep throat is caused by the streptococcus bacterium. Tonsillitis occurs when the tonsils become swollen, and the entire throat may appear red and sore. Infectious mononucleosis, a viral disease that is common in older children and adolescents, can also lead to a sore throat and tonsillitis. In rare cases, a sore throat may be a symptom of

The Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs The warm, mucous membrane lining of the throat provides a suitable environment for invading viruses and bacteria to flourish. These organisms cause irritation and inflammation of the membrane, making the throat feel scratchy and sore. Throat inflammation due to a cold will usually diminish in 2-3 days, as the body begins to conquer the infection. In the meantime, there are some home remedies that can bring temporary relief to the throat. Natural treatment and comfort measures GARGLE WITH WARM SALT WATER – It helps soothe the throat and reduces swelling in the tissues. This is the safest, least expensive, and probably the more effective treatment of a sore throat. Mix a tea-spoon of salt to an 8-oz. glass of warm water. Gargle every 3-4 hours. Contrary to popular belief, gargling with aspirin dissolved in warm water is not advisable as it may cause further irritation to the membrane. You need to swallow aspirin for the body to absorb it as a pain reliever. SIPPING WARM LIQUIDS like hot tea or soup can be soothing to the tissues of the throat and help with healing by drawing circulation to the tissues.

Go to PDF Version Sore Throat A sore throat is a symptom, not a disease. A sore throat may be the result of a bacterial or viral infection or it may be the result of irritation caused by smoking, excessive loud talking, overly dry heated rooms during the winter, or the result of secretions from the nose draining down the throat in association with a cold or allergy. DIAGNOSIS: Only 10% of sore throats are due to bacteria; the remaining 90% are the result of viral infections. Sore throats due to irritation or viral infection cannot be successfully treated with penicillin or other antibiotics. A bacterial infection may be suspected by the practitioner, but a throat culture is required to confirm the diagnosis. Throat culture tests require 24 - 48 hours before results are available. The Group A Beta hemolytic Streptococcus is only one cause of a bacterial infection - other bacterial infections may occur as well. If the throat culture should grow Group A Strep, treatment with an antibiotic is indicated, primarily to prevent heart and kidney complications. If your practitioner prescribes an antibiotic, it is important that you take the medication until it is gone to prevent these complications. TREATMENT: Drink lots of liquids - the best things are warm liquids such as hot tea, soup or lemonade (8-12 ounces per hour). Avoid caffeine and alcohol.

Search September 25, 2005 Registration Healthcare Professionals You are in: Ear, Nose, and Throat Sore Throat Sore Throat Overview Sore throats are usually named for the anatomical site affected. Pharyngitis: The pharynx, the area of your throat directly behind your mouth and soft palate, is a common hallway for food, liquids, and air. Swallowing safely delivers solids and liquids to the stomach through the esophagus. Pharyngitis is pain and inflammation of the pharynx. Tonsillitis : Tonsillitis typically involves inflammation of the tonsils (tonsils are located on either side of the base of the tongue). Laryngitis : The larynx, the top portion of your windpipe (trachea), has an important gatekeeper function. It allows passage of air in and out of the lungs (through the trachea), but bars the entry of solids and liquids. Sound production at the vocal cords is an important side job of the larynx. Laryngitis is pain and inflammation of the larynx (often associated with a hoarse voice). Croup is a form of laryngitis in children (it tends to be associated with a seal bark cough and difficulty inhaling air).

TONSILLITIS AND SORE THROAT Sore throats often involve the tonsils. These are the pair of rounded tissues on either side of the back of the throat. The tonsils help fight infections, but they can become infected themselves. Acute tonsillitis goes along with many throat infections, including strep throat. It is most common in children between the ages of 5 and 10. It usually lasts 4 to 6 days. However, tonsillitis can become a chronic or recurring problem in children or adults. ACUTE TONSILLITIS BEGINS WITH A MILD TO SEVERE SORE THROAT. OTHER SYMPTOMS MAY INCLUDE: * fever * swollen, tender neck glands * headache * muscle and joint pain * loss of appetite * earache * breathing through the mouth and * nausea or vomiting A person with tonsillitis should go to a healthcare provider for a THROAT CULTURE to check for strep throat. This is especially important for children. Cases of strep throat require antibiotics. It is very important to finish all antibiotic pills, even if symptoms go away. Get plenty of bed rest. Drink plenty of liquids, even though it hurts. Eat soft foods, such as ice cream, soup, or pudding. It helps to gargle with warm salt water. Many viruses, including mononucleosis, cause tonsillitis. These infections do not require antibiotics. For children age 18 or younger, use medication other than aspirin, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol), to relieve pain or reduce fever.
