Treatment of purulent sore throat should not be done on your own. It is especially important to start treatment on time, when the following headache symptoms occur simultaneously or in part, joint aches, general increased weakness, difficulty with swallowing food (and then, and fluids), an elevated temperature of about thirty-nine degrees.
Purulent sore throat is a number of diseases of the upper respiratory tract, which are of an infectious nature. This ailment affects the palate and tonsils, where the inflammatory process starts, caused by various microorganisms, most often streptococci. With angina, the laryngeal tissue of the larynx turns red and swells, and therefore, narrows. And on the tonsils there are impregnations of purulent coating.
When purulent angina is characterized by a sharp increase in temperature (sometimes up to 39 degrees), the presence of pain in the throat, as well as worsening of the overall health and well-being of a patient like a fever. In this case, the cervical lymph nodes increase and become painful, and the neck swells. The skin may develop a rash, and pain in the abdomen may also occur. Angina is often accompanied by the appearance of a cough and a cold, although in some cases it does without these unpleasant symptoms. If the sore throat does not begin to be treated on time, spreading the infection through the body can cause dysfunction in the heart, and also trigger joint disorders.
Purulent sore throat is easy to get infected, so do not close contact with a person who currently has a similar infection. The bacilli that cause the disease are transported by airborne droplets, as well as through the use of the patient's utensils and personal hygiene products. It is also worth noting that a bacterial infection that can cause purulent sore throat is transmitted through unwashed hands, fruits and vegetables.
Manifestations of sore throat are seen one week after infection with bacteria. But sometimes this period is shortened due to weakening of immunity in sick children and adults. Disease-causing microorganisms spread through the human body at an accelerated pace. Therefore, it is very important to begin treatment in a timely manner, as well as to comply with all the prescriptions of the attending physician. If you neglect the right therapy, you can get serious consequences for the body, such as kidney disease, dysfunction of the cardiovascular system, rheumatoid manifestations and, in some cases, symptoms of blood poisoning.
Of course, it should be noted that not all people are equally affected by pathogens. There are groups of people who run the risk of "earning" the disease more often than others. These include smokers; persons who have suffered tonsil injuries, adults and children with weakened immunity; people living in dusty and rarely cleaned rooms; as well as those who constantly or temporarily suffer a prolonged hypothermia. Also, angina most often affects adults and children who have circulatory disorders in the capillaries, which causes poor enrichment of tissues with useful substances.
According to statistics, the strongest outbreaks of this disease are in the early, cold spring and rainy, damp autumn. Every year, approximately fifteen percent of the world's population suffers from this disease.

Treatment of purulent sore throat in adults
There are some differences when using the methods of treatment of infectious diseases in adults, children and pregnant women. Adult patients can be assigned more effective treatment, which can not be used for children of childhood and future mothers.
Treatment of purulent sore throat in adults is complex and requires the use of all groups of drugs that can heal this infectious disease.
In the treatment of purulent sore throat solutions, sprays with antiseptic action, as well as antibacterial drugs are used. Antibiotics can also be applied topically in the form of sprays, as well as orally in the form of tablets or in the form of intramuscular injections. An effective way is to use corticosteroids, as well as antipyretic and analgesic drugs.
In addition to the aforementioned medicines, there are also alternative medicine methods, which can be consulted if desired. Alternative methods include rinsing the throat with aqueous solutions of various infusions, decoctions and infusions of medicinal herbs. It is also effective to lubricate the affected areas of the larynx with certain drugs. No less effective is the chewing of honeycomb, propolis, as well as the use of food beekeeping products.
Important in alternative medicine is the patient's diet. It is recommended to constantly use the patient's menu vitamin infusions and teas, as well as herbal decoctions that have antipyretic, anti-inflammatory and bactericidal properties.
All the recommended methods of treatment in the section can be found below in the relevant sections.
Treatment of purulent sore throat in children
Therapy of infectious diseases in children requires a more balanced approach and the use of more sparing medications than adults.
Treatment of purulent sore throat in children should be carried out only under the supervision of the attending physician. Usually, experts recommend the use of antibacterial, restorative and antihistamine therapy. Antibiotics in this case should have a wide range of actions to avoid complications caused by the spread of infection throughout the child's body. Antihistamines also help prevent serious consequences for the entire body. General restorative drugs contribute to strengthening the immune protection of the patient and improving the body's resistance to infections.
Of antibiotics, children are usually recommended to use the following names:
- flemoxin-solutaba,
- sumamed,
- suprax,
- amoxyclav,
- amosin,
- augmentin.
The most effective of this group of drugs are considered to be Flemoxin-solutab and sumamed.
If the first symptoms of the disease are found, children are recommended to rinse the larynx with warm water solutions of salt, salt and soda, furacilin or manganese. This must be done at least once an hour. You can use rinses and more often.
Among the effective tools experts recommend inhalation by steam over a vessel with hot water, with dissolved in it soda and with the addition of bay leaf. This procedure should be done three or four times a day.
In addition, children, as well as adults, are recommended to drink plenty of fluids. It is desirable, that it was pure warm water and vitamin infusions, herbal teas and berry fruit.
It happens that a child with a purulent sore throat experiences severe pain in the throat. Because of what he refuses to drink and take food, as well as use drugs. In this case, it is necessary to consult a doctor about the prescription of pain medications, which can stop painful symptoms in the sore throat. In some cases, experts recommend the introduction of antibiotics intramuscularly, although in this case such a measure will be an additional stress factor for the sick child.
So, if parents notice that their child has a sharp deterioration in health, which is characterized by weakness and lethargy, fever and severe pain in the throat, they need to urgently show the child to the doctor and begin to follow his instructions. The usual scheme of treatment of the disease in children practically does not differ from the methods of treatment of purulent sore throat in adults.
It happens that parents can be mistaken about the fact that purulent angina is treated without the use of antibiotics. A means of phytotherapy, rinsings and inhalations can cure such a serious disease. This is a big mistake that can lead to deterioration of the child's health in the form of complications from the sore throat, undermining his health for the rest of his life. Experts recommend a combination of alternative and traditional methods of treatment of purulent sore throat, which will give a stable result and help to avoid consequences.
Treatment of purulent sore throat during pregnancy
Treatment of purulent sore throat during pregnancy begins with a consultation with a specialist. And only the doctor can decide whether or not to prescribe to pregnant women drugs with antibacterial action.
The use of antibiotics during pregnancy is highly undesirable. Therefore, with the urgent need for their use during this period, preference is given to drugs with local action. To this category of drugs for the treatment of purulent sore throats are aerosols. The tableted form of antibacterial drugs, as well as injection for injections intramuscularly and into a vein, is considered undesirable during this period of a woman's life. And it is prescribed only for vital indications.
The most safe in pregnancy are antibiotics that are applied topically. One of such preparations includes aerosol "Bioporaks". It is recommended to inject on the affected area of the throat two to three injections three or four times a day.
In addition to antibacterial therapy, expectant mothers are recommended to rinse the throat with the following means (three to four times a day with each remedy):
- a warm aqueous solution of salt,
- broths of chamomile or sage.
These rinsing agents must be alternated with rinsing with antiseptic solutions:
- miramistine,
- chlorhexidine.
The following types of rinsing of the throat are also recommended:
- Take half a glass of water, in which one tablespoon of 3% hydrogen peroxide is bred.
- In the second glass is poured or one teaspoon of alcohol tincture of calendula on a glass of water, or one teaspoon per glass of water of Rotokan.
- It is necessary to alternate the rinses from these two glasses in one throat rinse procedure. This sips a sip of water from the first glass, the throat rinses when pronouncing the letter "o" or "e". After which the solution is spit out and in the same way the larynx is rinsed with a second solution.
A pregnant woman should drink a lot. It is best that it was a warm, non-acidic drink - infusions and decoctions of medicinal herbs, pure or alkaline mineral water, vitamin dues.
To reduce high body temperature with purulent sore throat is recommended:
- drinking decoction of lime blossom,
- wiping with a mixture of vinegar and water (in a ratio of 1: 1).
A pregnant woman needs to take preventive measures before she is examined by a specialist in order to get better soon. The best step is rinsing the larynx with a warm salt solution, preferably as often as possible.
Nutrition of a pregnant woman during the treatment of purulent sore throats also refers to the measures of therapy. Specialists recommend eating sparing and liquid food, which is represented by broths, boiled porridges on water, jelly, vegetable and fruit purees. The food should be warm, but not hot. Acute and acidic foods, as well as smoked products and marinades are categorically contraindicated during the cure of purulent sore throat.
Here are a few herbal infusions and broths that are recommended for pregnant women:
- One tablespoon of a leaf of a sage is filled in with a glass of boiled water, it is insisted in a thermos for an hour. After that this infusion rinse the throat, and also take it in half a glass fifteen minutes before meals three times a day.
- One tablespoon of camomile flowers is poured in one glass of boiling water. Then it is insisted in a thermos for half an hour, and then filtered. This infusion should gargle four times a day, and also drink tea and honey half a glass several times a day.
- One tablespoon of blackberry fruits is poured into a glass of boiling water. It is infused in a thermos bottle for twenty minutes, filtered and one tablespoon of honey is added to the infusion. Drinking is taken a quarter of a cup four times a day.
- Two tablespoons of black elder black are poured into two glasses of boiling water and put on a water bath for half an hour. Then the broth cools and filters. It must be taken at night for half a glass.
- One tablespoon of crushed stems and flowers of cornflower meadow is filled with half a liter of boiling water. Then it is left to insist in the thermos for two hours, and then filtered. Infusion is drunk one glass three times a day for half an hour before eating.
Pregnant women are not recommended to use warming compresses on the throat area, as well as independent removal of the plaque from the tonsils. Such self-management measures can only exacerbate the disease and delay recovery.
Pregnant women need to remember that purulent angina is a dangerous disease, not because of its symptoms, but because of possible serious complications for the whole organism. Not conducted in time complex therapy can cause problems with joints, heart and kidneys.
It is very important for a pregnant woman to spare herself and to comply with bed rest until the recovery.
Here are several alternative medicine that are recommended for purulent angina during pregnancy.
Inhalation and aromatherapy
Used in the initial period of the disease, as well as at the cure stage, in the absence of temperature in the patient. You can use rosehip oil, eucalyptus, thyme, hyssop and chamomile. The procedure for inhalation is as follows. The water is heated in the container, several droplets of the selected oil are added there. Then it is necessary to bend over the container and cover the head with a towel. A few minutes you need to breathe a couple of essential oils through the open throat, and then go to bed under a warm blanket. The only warning is the individual oil intolerance. Therefore, you need to carefully monitor your own feelings and immediately stop the procedure if something goes wrong.
Inhalation over potatoes
The procedure is simple: boil potatoes in a small amount of water until the appearance of smell (namely, from the tubers). Then a couple of droplets of fir oil or a pinch of cinnamon are added to the broth. Such steam is inhaled through the nose and mouth for ten to fifteen minutes. Then you need to immediately go to bed, and there already have a glass of very warm vitamin tea.
Treatment of purulent sore throat without fever
In the vast majority of cases, purulent angina is accompanied by fever. It happens that in some patients there is no rise in body temperature, and the pathological process occurs against the background of the usual body temperature (or slightly elevated, for example, up to 37 - 37.2 C). Such a picture of the disease is observed in patients with a strong and stable decrease in immunity. Usually, for purulent sore throat is characterized by the appearance of fever - high fever in combination with chills and severe weakness of the patient.
In some cases purulent tonsillitis can be mixed up with other diseases or conditions. For example, the remains of food that are found in the larynx can be taken for the presence of pus on the tonsils. This problem is easily removed by several sips of water.
In some cases, the deterioration of the patient's condition can be caused by burns or traumas of the larynx, in which a certain plaque appears on the pharyngeal mucosa. At the same time the body temperature does not increase, the plaque is fibrous - tightening the wound surface. In this case, a person's condition can be confused with a purulent sore throat.
With chronic tonsillitis, the appearance in the larynx of purulent plugs, which are easily taken as a scurf on tonsils, characterizing purulent sore throat. We can say that such corks can be formed even in healthy people, not only in patients with chronic tonsillitis. In some cases, the purulent scurf on the tonsils does not characterize purulent tonsillitis, but the involvement of tonsils with fungal infections, symptoms of Venchan's angina, signs of syphilis and symptoms of stomatitis. Therefore, with the appearance of a white coating on the tonsils and the absence of an elevated body temperature, it is not worthwhile setting yourself a hasty diagnosis of "purulent angina".
Treatment of purulent sore throat without temperature presupposes all the same procedures that are used for purulent angina with an increase in temperature. First of all, you need to start gargling every hour with the following solutions:
- aqueous solution of furacilin,
- aqueous solution of potassium permanganate,
- a warm aqueous solution of salt,
- A warm aqueous solution of salt with soda.
After that, you need to see a doctor for the appointment of antibiotics and other drugs to stop the symptoms of the disease. The use of antipyretic drugs in this case is not needed, and this is already good news.
Purulent sore throat: home treatment
At home for the prompt cure of the disease is recommended to adhere to the following rules of therapy:
- Compliance with bed rest. The patient must necessarily be in bed, as he will be tormented by an increased weakness, which is the result of high temperature. Also, the limited nutrition, which must necessarily adhere to for a speedy recovery, does not contribute to an increase in the tone of the body.
- A large amount of fluid that must be drunk a day. The patient should drink at least two liters of clean water a day. It is also useful to drink fruitless beverages without fruit, sugar-free compotes, freshly prepared juices and mineral alkaline still water.
- Introduction to the diet of sparing food, which does not hurt the sore throat. Such dishes include jelly, boiled liquid porridges on water, mashed potatoes, other vegetable purees, broths and so on. From the diet of the patient it is necessary to exclude hot, cold and cold dishes during the illness.
- Drinking and eating, which contains a large number of vitamins. Such a measure is necessary to activate the immune defense of a patient for a speedy recovery. Vitamin food includes honey, honeycomb and other bee products. Also, vitamin infusions from herbs, rosehips, freshly prepared juices, grated berries without sugar (or with the addition of honey) are also good. Useful berries include cranberries, raspberries, black currants, cranberries.
Purulent sore throat is a serious infectious disease, so for the speediest recovery the patient needs to create the best conditions. Treating a house of such severe ailments helps the patient to gather strength to activate immune processes and cope with the disease.

Purulent sore throat: treatment with Lugol
Purulent angina is a disease in which disinfection of the affected part of the larynx is strongly recommended by solutions of local action. One of the most common means is Lugol's solution (or aerosol). This drug is characterized by the content of molecular iodine, which has an antiseptic and locally irritating effect. Thanks to the above qualities, Lugol's solution or aerosol differs in bactericidal action. That perfectly helps to cope with the manifestations of purulent sore throat. It should be noted that this drug is not recommended for use during pregnancy.
Treatment Lugolem purulent sore throat is as follows. If Lugol is used as a spray, then the affected parts of the larynx are irrigated, as well as the mucous membrane of the throat and mouth. Such injections must be performed two to six times a day.
The mechanism of injection is as follows. Before pressing the nebulizer, the patient needs to inhale and hold his breath, and then press the nebulizer once. After that it is recommended to refrain from drinking and eating for half an hour. If the medicinal product falls into the eye mucosa unintentionally, they must be thoroughly rinsed with running water, and then done the same with sodium thiosulfate.
In the presence of Lugol's solution, which is packaged in a vial, it is required to take tweezers. On it, you need to fasten the cotton swab, which then dips into the liquid. In the absence of tweezers, you can simply wrap a pencil with cotton wool and also soak it with a solution. After that, the patient needs to open his mouth wider so that it is convenient to lubricate the affected surface of the pharynx with a drug. Particular attention should be paid to applying the solution to the tonsils and oral cavity.
You can also use another way that our grandmothers used. A piece of sterile cotton wool is taken, which is then dipped in the solution, placed in the mouth and sucked for several minutes.
If Lugol is used at the initial stage of the disease and in complex treatment, this is a very effective remedy for relieving the symptoms of the disease. You can also use a solution or Lugol's aerosol when the sore throat has not yet developed into a purulent one. In this case, you can avoid the appointment of antibiotics and get by with a minimal set of means of healing. At a high temperature, which is held by the patient for several days, it is not advisable to get rid of sore throat only with Lugol's solution. Such symptoms indicate a strong inflammation and a powerful constantly developing infectious process in the larynx. In this case, it is necessary to connect antibiotics that are used orally.
Treatment of purulent sore throat with antibiotics
Antibacterial drugs for the treatment of angina are a necessary measure for the speedy recovery from this severe infectious disease. If you neglect the recommendation of a doctor, and try to treat sore throat by other means, this self-medication can harm the patient. Because complications after purulent angina are very significant and extend to many organs and systems of the human body.

When topical use is best used antibiotics in the form of aerosols. The most common of these is the Bioporox preparation. According to the instructions, it can be used in the form of injections to the affected area in the larynx, two to three injections, a shooting range or four times a day.
The choice of antibiotic in the treatment of purulent angina of envy from many factors, above all, the general health of the patient. If, for example, a patient has some renal or hepatic disease, then this becomes an obstacle to the use of certain names of antibacterial agents.
You also need to know that there are certain names of antibiotics that are not compatible with the simultaneous use of certain contraceptives (for example, combined birth control pills). Their use should be reported to the doctor in order that he appoint the most appropriate treatment option with antibiotics. Alternatively, a specialist will be able to suggest a different type of contraception for the time period when it is necessary to take antibiotics.
So, here is an expanded list of antibiotics that are used in the treatment of purulent sore throat. In alphabetical order this list is as follows:

Alternative treatment of purulent sore throat
In order for alternative drugs to be effective, it is worth using them at the first signs of the appearance of tonsillitis. At the beginning of the appearance of the disease, it is recommended to use battered cabbage leaves that are applied externally in the projection of the sites affected by the infection. After that the cabbage leaves are wrapped with a scarf made of natural wool, and the patient is put under the blanket to stay at peace.
In parallel with this it is recommended to chew a little honeycomb honey. In its absence, the usual natural honey, which is good for dissolving in the mouth, is also suitable. Honey has excellent bactericidal qualities that help cope with the infection that has lodged in the larynx.
If the symptoms of the disease have already been started, and the sore throat has developed into a purulent one, then other methods of fighting the disease must be used. Alternative treatment of purulent sore throat recommends the following methods:
- Gargling at least six times a day for three to five minutes with the following "drugs":
- freshly prepared beet juice with one spoonful of vinegar, which are diluted in a glass of clean water;
- solution in water of hydrogen peroxide - one teaspoon per glass of clean water;
- broths of calendula flowers - one teaspoon of dry (or fresh) flowers should be filled with a glass of clean water and brought to a boil, after which the broth is removed from the fire, filtered and used for the intended purpose;

- Compresses that are placed on the neck in the area of the projection, struck from the inside of the larynx:
- The most effective way is the following: mix one part of aloe with two parts of honey and three parts of vodka; after which the liquid pours out on the cheesecloth, it wraps around her throat, and on top is covered with a film and wrapped in a scarf.
- Inhalations:

- Regular intake of freshly prepared juices - carrot, carrot-apple, beetroot-apple, beetroot-carrot-apple, pumpkin, pumpkin-apple.
- A constant drink of anti-inflammatory infusions, such as infusion of chamomile, an infusion of lime-colored,
During the recovery from angina, it is important to use a comprehensive approach, that is, a combination of different therapies. In this case, of course, it must be remembered that the patient with purulent angina shows rest and bed rest. And only in this case he will be able to start accumulating forces to fight the disease and go on the amendment.
Quick treatment of purulent sore throat
Since purulent angina is a serious infectious disease, it will not be possible to quickly cure it. But to do so to speed up the process of recovery and avoid unpleasant complications, it is possible. The main thing is that the patient must strictly observe the rules of proper therapy, then the result will be visible in a short time.
First of all, you need to adhere to bed rest and stay in bed. Secondly, with the appearance of the first signs of unpleasant symptoms, it is worth starting to do inhalation of the throat, as well as rinsing. Thirdly, it is necessary to consult a doctor and fulfill all his requirements for taking antibiotics, which appoint a specialist.
Rapid treatment of purulent sore throat involves the following manipulations with the sore throat. Immediately after the appearance of the first symptoms, namely, pain in the throat of fever and so on, it is necessary to purchase an oil solution of chlorophyllipt. They need to treat affected tonsils, always gently removing pustules. For this purpose, the pencil needs to be wrapped around with a cotton swab, moisten it in a solution and process the necessary places in the larynx. Do this no less than four times a day. After the first day of such a procedure, the patient becomes much easier.
Effective treatment of purulent sore throat
Effective treatment of purulent sore throat involves promptness at the first symptoms of the onset of the disease.
Every hour you need to resort to rinsing your throat with a warm solution of salt in water. You can do this and more often, it all depends on the patient's desire to recover. The effectiveness of such treatment is noticed even in the late stages of purulent sore throat. What can we say about the initial stage of the disease, when you can cope with the disease in a few days! With constant rinses, viruses or bacteria are washed out with a mouthwash.
In addition to the antibiotics prescribed by the doctor for ingestion, it is necessary to take care of the drugs for absorption and aerosols for the larynx. Their action is local, and therefore, effective. Such medications act directly on the source of the disease itself, which is an indisputable plus in the choice of therapy. If you use the means for resorption and irrigation of the larynx, pathogenic microorganisms are swallowed, that is, they are removed from the lesions. Although the patient needs to know that these drugs do not replace throat rinsing, therefore, do not replace them with rinses. It is best to combine these two methods of local therapy.
Purulent angina is characterized by high activity of pathogens, which begin to spread throughout the body of the patient. To avoid complications, you need a lot of drinking to prevent bacterial intoxication.
Antibiotics for purulent angina should be taken either orally, or in the form of injections. The emergence of lesions in the larynx, tonsils and in the oral cavity indicates that the patient has decreased immunity, and the microbes have been able to overcome a number of protective barriers. To effectively suppress the painful microflora and quickly recover, it is necessary to carefully follow the prescribing doctor's instructions and take the prescribed drugs.
The patient needs strength and a positive psychological attitude for a speedy recovery. Constant painful sensations, which are with purulent angina, can exhaust the patient and prevent him from eating and drinking normally. This state of affairs is unacceptable for the treatment of the disease. Therefore, with strong and exhausting pain, it is recommended to take analgesics (painkillers) that can stop pain and help the patient regain their strength. Analgesics are taken before meals, fifteen to twenty minutes before eating. Also, analgesics help cope with fever (over 38.5 C), as well as fever symptoms. If the patient has a drop in temperature and reduces pain to tolerable, taking painkillers and antipyretic drugs is best to stop.
Subject to the above recommendations, as well as all the prescriptions of the doctor, the disease may recede after a few days. But do not settle for things. Since the patient's body is weakened, it is necessary to continue to adhere to bed rest, have a lot of rest, drink plenty of liquid, especially vitamin infusions, fruit drinks, tea without sugar. And also continue to gargle and take antibiotics for as long as prescribed by the doctor in charge.
Treatment of purulent sore throat is a time-consuming, but necessary, process that requires the patient and his family to take a reasonable approach to the state of health, and also to observe the right therapy.
