Herpes sore throat.

Herpes sore throat is an acute infection in the body, accompanied by a sharp rise in temperature, pharyngitis, nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, dysphagia. The causative agents of this disease are the Coxsackie viruses belonging to group A.

Coxsackie viruses spread throughout the body. The main carrier is a person, but there can also be different animals, for example, pigs.

Herpes sore throat: symptoms

The incubation period lasts about one to two weeks. Initially, the disease manifests itself as a simple flu. In this case, the following symptoms are typical:

• loss of appetite;

• Irritability;

• malaise;

• weakness.

But if the disease has already developed, then the following symptoms will appear:

• pain in the throat;

• acute rhinitis;

• drooling;

• the appearance of serous vesicles, which are surrounded by a corolla of hyperemia. They can form in places such as: soft palate, tongue, posterior pharyngeal wall, tonsils, anterior part of oral cavity.

If the herpes sore throat is already in a more complex form, then these vesicles can start to swim. Also, in a severe stage of angina development, you can observe vomiting, diarrhea and nausea.

Consequences of sore throat

If herpes sore throat is started and not treated for a long time, then it will give complications that can lead to meningitis, myocarditis and encephalitis.

Herpes sore throat. Methods of research

Initially, it is desirable to do a blood test. Then, various actions are taken to identify pathogens. Patients take the test material (intestinal contents, swabs from the nasopharynx, etc.), and then conduct laboratory tests.

Treatment

The following hypo-sensitizing drugs are usually prescribed for treatment:

• Suprastin;

• "Diazolin";

• "Peritol";

• "Claritin";

• and others.

If the patient has a fever, then the following antipyretic drugs should be taken:

• "Kalpol";

• Tylenol;

• Efferalgan;

• and others.

Inasmuch as the foci of the lesion are constantly manifested with renewed vigor, and at the same time the medicines are of low efficiency (the body absorbs only a small part of the taken dose of the drug), the disease can last about two weeks.

Speeding up and improving the effectiveness of the treatment process can be done by taking liquid antiviral medicines. For example, leukocyte interferon.

Local therapy is desirable to be carried out with aerosol antiseptics, antiviral drugs, proteolytic enzymes, keratoplastic agents and painkillers. The following aerosols can be used:

• "Geksoral";

• The Ingalipt;

• "Tantum Verde".

They are all good enough and have analgesic, antiseptic and enveloping properties.

After the patient has been treated with general and local treatment, he is explained that it is necessary to normalize one's diet and make it more rational. In addition, it is necessary to conduct therapy with immunomodulating drugs (Immunal, Imudon and others).
