The designation of the disease with the term "paratonlesillar abscess" is valid only for the final stage of the pathological process, accompanied by suppuration.
As a rule, treatment of sore throats is carried out on an outpatient basis with isolation of the patient at home. In severe forms of angina, especially when there are raids on the tonsils, the patient is hospitalized and the infectious disease department.
Diagnosis of angina is based primarily on the clinical data of the disease, laboratory methods of investigation, as well as pharyngoscopy, which is the basis of diagnosis.
The main cause of angina is beta-hemolytic group A streptococcus. The disease is transmitted by airborne droplets. Other causes of angina are pneumococci, Escherichia coli, fungi.
The term "angina" came from the Latin word "angere" - to squeeze, choke, squeeze. This is due to the fact that one of the characteristic symptoms of angina is a feeling of constriction in the throat, sometimes suffocation, difficulty in passing food.
With a simple form of the disease, conservative treatment is performed for one to two years with 10-day courses. In those cases when the effectiveness of the local symptoms is inadequate or there is an exacerbation (angina), a decision can be made about a second course of treatment.
One of the most reliable signs of the disease is considered to be the presence of angina and a history. At the same time, it is imperative for the patient to find out how the fever in the throat is accompanied by a rise in body temperature and for how long.
Chronic tonsillitis is an active chronic exacerbation of the chronic inflammatory focus of infection in the palatine tonsils with a common infectious allergic reaction.
