Strep Throat

way to many people have had strep throat

Technically, vitamin C would probably be better--if your sore throat is a symptom of flu, the common cold, or other viral (and even bacterial) infections. That's as far as I know. I have heard that zinc can be used to help reduce symptoms of the common cold, but frankly vitamin C is a pretty amazing immune system booster.

Anyway, thanks so very much for all of your time!

God bless!

Yes, bacterial infections by mesophilic pathogens can cause the symptom of a sore throat. For example, one infamous bacteria for this is Streptococcus pyogenes which causes strep throat.

A rapid test to detect a Group A Streptococcal throat infection costs around $50. This is the cost in most clinics, urgent care centers, and emergency rooms.

These healthcare centers buy the rapid tests for less than $2.00 each.

it all sort of depends. When i have had strep throat it is usually for 2 to 3 days. And you can never be sure

Sore throats are a common condition that can have any number of causes. Post-nasal drip can cause the throat to become irritated. Excessive smoking can cause it, and a number of viral and bacterial conditions can contribute to the condition as well. One common bacterial infection that causes a sore throat and a fever as its two most common symptoms is strep throat.

Most people get strep throat when they are children. As long as it is caught in time it is normally treated with a course of antibiotics that help the immune system do its job. Schools will usually demand that the child stay away from school for up to 24 hours after his symptoms have cleared up.

A concerned parent who suspects his or her child might have contacted strep throat can help the diagnosis by making sure that the child is not coughing, sneezing or suffering from other cold symptoms. The condition is usually accompanied by a fever of 101 degrees or higher. Swollen lymph nodes also let a parent know that a child has a problem. If any of these symptoms occur, the best bet is to make a doctor’s appointment and see what he can do.

Teenagers do get this sickness as well, but there is another condition, infectious mononucleosis that causes many of the same symptoms. If a teenager has been kissing, the odds are good that it is mono and not strep throat. Parents can do their teens and themselves a favor by not asking who they were kissing. A good medical professional will ask the same questions to determine who else might have been infected. Mononucleosis also includes fatigue as a symptom, which strep throat does not.

The previous paragraphs have referred to strep throat as being a common condition in children. That does not mean it cannot occur in adults. It can and the symptoms are the same. People who have weakened immune systems due to age or conditions such as Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome can have this condition occur with other conditions.

On average, about 5,623,780 people die from strep throat a year.

This is about 0.0827743619% of the world population.

number of victims strep throat

Sore throats can be caused by viruses or bacteria. The most common causes of sore throats are viruses. Viral sore throats are often accompanied by other cold symptoms that may include a runny nose, cough, red or watery eyes, and sneezing. Other causes of sore throat include smoking, pollution or irritants in the air, allergies, and dry air.

Strep throat is caused by the bacteria streptococcus, that is why it is called strep throat.

Streptococci or the strep throat infection is transmitted by droplets. So it is mostly an airborne infection.

Breath out through your nose while he enters. Also, don't let him thrust. If you are in control of how deep he is in your throat, you can avoid his penis making you gag.

Strep throat, when untreated can lead to rheumatic fever. Rheumatic fever affects your heart valves. You have bout 15 million patients suffering from rheumatic heart disease, world wide. Every year 300,000 die of rheumatic heart disease. Same number is added. Mostly the children are affected. This is a totally preventable disease and the prevalence of the same is shameful for the medical profession.

Cold milk would certainly sooth the soreness - and it's good for you too !

Maybe. The most common reason for a sore throat is a cold or flu virus. Since Cefaclor is an antibiotic that only works on bacteria and the cold or flu are caused by viruses, then the answer would be no. However, bacteria can also cause sore throats and then the Cefaclor may be helpful. Antibiotics that are known to kill a specific type of bacteria are chosen to treat a bacterial sore throat. Usually a simple test is done to see if there are bacteria or viruses in your nose or throat and, if bacteria, then the type of antibiotic that is know to kill that bacteria is chosen. That may or may not be Cefaclor, depending on the exact bacteria that infected your throat.

you catch it by being arounf someone who is contagess ............. you never know who is contagess and whos not i think its contagess for 24 hours im not sure

what dosage of tetracycline for strep throat

Streptococcus Bacteria. More specifically Group A Streptococcus bacteria. Group A is a designation of a specific type of antigen in the cell wall that this bacterial group possess. The most common culprit to cause strep throat is the bacterium Streptococcus pyogenes. Generally, the beginning of a strep throat starts with nasal drainage down the throat. Because S. pyogenes is sometimes a normal flora found in a decent percentage of the population's nasal cavities when there is nasal drainage running down the throat that presents the opportunity for a pathogenic strain of S. pyogenes to move into an area of the body that it isn't supposed to be in. When it does that, it "moves" in to the throat area and begins beta-hemolysis causing the dotted, white throat that is characteristic of the disease.

Who would know this??

Strep Throat, or Streptococcal pharyngitis, is spread from person to person by coughing, sneezing, fluid contact, or any close contact with an infected individual.

Tamiflu is an antiviral medication, not an antibiotic. Strep throat is caused by a streptococcal (strep) infection. Strep is a bacteria. An antiviral will have little to no affect on bacteria.
