Angina is one of the mostcommon diseases. But, despite such a wide distribution, treatment of angina, as well as the causes of its occurrence, is still not clear for many people. But in fact, in order to alleviate the condition of a sick person, and subsequently prevent a recurrent disease, this knowledge is simply necessary. And this is what will be discussed below. Let's first try to figure out what is sore throat. Its name was derived from the Latin word "angere", which means "squeezing, squeezing." And in fact, many sick people complain that they have a very unpleasant feeling of squeezing in the throat. Angina is an acute infectious disease that affects the pharynx, and mostly the tonsils. There is a sufficiently large number of pathogens, which provoke the development of angina - fungi, bacteria and viruses. However, as shown by numerous observations of doctors, most often the disease provokes streptococci, which penetrate into the pharynx by household means - for example, with dirty hands or dirty dishes. And sometimes angina occurs due to the fact that those microbes that are always in the cavity of the human pharynx, sharply activated under the influence of various adverse factors. Such factors can be a sharp fluctuation of the ambient temperature, hypothermia, weakening of immunity, concomitant diseases. Such cases account for up to 30% of all diseases. Especially often, such cases occur if a person's functioning of the immune system is significantly impaired. Such people face angina often enough - they just swim in the river or the sea, eat ice cream or just get under the rain. In addition, the development of angina can be triggered by the effects of various irritants that regularly enter the pharynx and the respiratory tract. Such substances can be alcoholic beverages, smoke, dust of various origin. And the presence of adenoids, which greatly hinders normal nasal breathing, also often becomes the culprit of angina. It is also impossible to lose sight of and chronically the sources of infection that are present in the human body. Such sources can be destroyed carious teeth, or inflammatory processes in the nasal cavity and sinuses - sinusitis. That's why doctors strongly recommend that you carefully monitor your health. In no case should we forget that angina is an infectious, and therefore extremely infectious disease. Of course, if a person has angina, treatment is necessary. But remember also that a sick person should be isolated as soon as possible, especially from children and the elderly, in whom the immune system is most vulnerable. In addition, it must be remembered that the sick person should have a separate dish, which no one should use - this measure also prevent possible infection of family members of the sick person. ...
