Pharyngitis (say: "fare-en-jy-tis")which is what your doctor calls a sore throatcan be caused by many things. Sometimes, when mucus from your sinuses drains into your throat, the drainage can make your throat feel sore. Viruses (such as those that cause the common cold) and bacteria (which can cause many illnesses, such as strep throat) can give you a sore throat. Your throat also may feel sore if you smoke, breathe polluted air, or drink alcoholic beverages. If you have hay fever or other allergies, a sore throat may be one of the symptoms. How do I know what is causing my sore throat?

    Extractions: Main Common Infections Strep throat is caused by the Streptococcus pyogenes bacteria, also called group A beta-hemolytic streptococci (GABHS). This infection is most common in children over three years of age and begins with a fever, a red, swollen throat, and tonsils that can have a white coating of pus. Other symptoms often include swollen glands, decreased appetite and a decreased energy level. Related Topics Sore Throats Scarlet Fever If strep throat is suspected as the cause of tonsillitis in your child, your doctor will do a throat swab to confirm that there is infection with strep bacteria. A rapid antigen test is usually performed in the office. If this test is negative, there is still a small chance that your child has strep and an overnight culture will then be done to see if any strep bacteria grow. It is important to remember that you can not tell the difference between strep throat and other viral causes of sore throats. Just because there is pus on your child's tonsils, it does not mean that he needs an antibiotic. Antibiotics are only used to treat sore throats that are caused by strep, so if the tests are negative, your child most likely has a virus that will need to clear up on its own.

Symptoms of strep throat in children usually entail: a sore throat, abdominal pain, a bright red rash, difficulty swallowing, fever, chills, aches and pains, loss of appetite, swollen tonsils with pus on them, and swollen glands. If left untreated, strep throat complications can be as severe as a kidney infection, pneumonia, and/or tonsillitis.

Strep throat does not necessarily need to be treated. However, some untreated cases can deteriorate into scarlet fever, joint disorders or heart conditions. Steps: See your doctor for a throat culture. An instant strep throat test can tell you if you have strep throat in less than 30 minutes. Take antibiotics as ordered by your doctor - generally 250 mg of penicillin G orally every six hours. The penicillin family is very effective in killing the strep bacteria. Check your temperature twice a day, to assess the severity of your infection. (See "How To Diagnose Strep Throat.") Take aspirin, if you are an adult, to reduce fever and inflammation. Give acetaminophen to children as recommended by your doctor. Suck on throat lozenges - especially those containing menthol, benzocaine or phenol, which will help numb the throat, if you are an adult. Give children cough drops or hard candy.

    Extractions: The group A streptococcus bacterium (Streptococcus pyogenes) is responsible for most cases of streptococcal illness. Other types (B, C, D, and G) may also cause infection. Group B streptococci cause most streptococcal infections in newborns and maternal post-labor/delivery infections. Some of the major syndromes associated with group A strep infection are: streptococcal pharyngitis or "strep throat" scarlet fever, most often preceded by a sore throat skin infections (impetigo, cellulitis/erysipelas) focal infections, limited to a particular body site, e.g., pneumonia, septic arthritis bacteremia, sepsis, streptococcal toxic shock syndrome necrotizing fasciitis the complications of streptococcal infections, acute rheumatic fever and poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis The signs and symptoms of strep throat are red, sore throat with white patches on tonsils, swollen lymph nodes in neck, fever, and headache. Nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain more common in children. The illness is caused by the bacterium Streptococcus pyogenes and is spread by direct, close contact with patients via respiratory droplets (coughing or sneezing). Casual contact rarely results in transmission. Rarely, contaminated food, especially milk and milk products, can result in outbreaks. Untreated patients are most infectious for 2-3 weeks after onset of infection. Incubation period, the period after exposure and before symptoms show up, is 2-4 days. Patient is no longer infectious within 24 hours of commencing treatment.

Unfortunately, this is a difficult question to answer. This is mainly due to the fact that some (up to 25%) people pick up the strep bacteria, and show no symptoms. These people become carriers of the bacteria and transmit it to others without actually becoming sick themselves. The majority of contacts, however, probably become symptomatic within the week. Remember that those with strep throat are considered non-contagious after 24 hours of antibiotics. Therefore, if strep throat has not occurred in a contact within the week, the child probably won't catch it. But keep in mind, if a playmate gets strep throat and passes it along to other playmates in the group, the chain of infection may not break for several weeks.

    Extractions: This infection of the upper respiratory tract is caused by bacteria of the Streptococcus family. Though streptococci are the most common bacterial causes of repiratory infections, strep infections are much less common than viral respiratory infections ( colds ), which may have similar symptoms. Strep throat is most common in winter and spring. Children with strep throat also may develop a skin rash known as scarlet fever HOW DOES STREP THROAT DEVELOP? Strep bacteria spread from person to person in droplets expelled during coughing and sneezing. Usually, however, close contact, such as sharing eating utensils or playing face-to-face, is needed for the bacteria to spread. Outbreaks of strep throat can occur in communities, day care centers, schools and families. WHEN SHOULD I SUSPECT THAT MY CHILD HAS STREP THROAT? Symptoms of strep throat include fever sore throat , severe pain on swallowing, tender and swollen lymph glands in the neck, malaise and nausea. The throat and soft palate are red, swollen and frequently coated with a yellowish-white material. There is usually no cough. Fever typically lasts for one to three days, and sore throat persists for approximately five days.

All Health Topics A-Z Although some of the symptoms may feel similar, a sore throat is not the same as a strep throat.

    Extractions: Strep throat Strep throat is an infection of the throat by the streptococcus bacteria. Strep throat is very contagious and is spread through person-to-person contact, airborne droplets, doorknobs or other surfaces, and occasionally food, water, and even milk that may be contaminated by strep bacteria. Symptoms usually occur within 2 to 5 days after exposure. If untreated, this throat infection can lead to serious lifelong problems. Strep throat is most common in school-aged children. It occurs most often between October and April. People who have the strep bacteria without any symptoms are called carriers. There is much less risk of getting strep throat from someone who is a carrier than someone with symptoms. Symptoms may include: severe sore throat fever bright red tonsils and throat difficulty swallowing white or yellow spots at the back of the throat a swollen, tender neck

After a few days and maybe some antibiotics, it should go away and you'll be fine. Or at least that's the case for most of us. According to a new study, the problems may be just beginning. A new study shows that some kids can develop neurological disorders after a strep infection. Strep throat is a very common infection. While most children get over a strep infection without any problems, a study in The Journal Pediatrics finds that for a small group of kids that's not the case.
