Indications for use of a syringe spray
The sore throat is most often provoked by infection with viruses or microbes. Less often, this condition can be due to fungal or combined pathology. In this case, inflammation affects any part of the upper respiratory tract.
For example, the disease can be expressed in the form of pharyngitis, when the mucous tissues of the pharynx are affected.
If the tonsils develop purulent inflammation, which is accompanied by fever and swallowing difficulties, then in such cases they speak of follicular (lacunar) angina.
