SERAMBINEWS.COM – Be aware that a sore throat could attack and disrupt your activities.
Sore throat or pharyngitis is inflammation around the oral cavity, especially near the tonsils.
Dr. Huminsa Ranto, Sp.A, M.Sc from Mardiwaluyo Metro Hospital said that the cause of sore throat is allergies, as well as viruses and group A Streptococcus β hemolyticus bacteria that enter through the respiratory tract.
Group A Streptococcus β hemolyticus viruses and bacteria often fly in the air during the dry season.
“Group A Streptococcus β hemolyticus bacteria can also stick to objects,” said the doctor who is currently studying at the Child Development Consultant, Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia, Friday (20/10/2023).
Sore throat caused by group A Streptococcus β hemolyticus bacteria should not be underestimated because it can cause complications from kidney infections.
Apart from that, it can also cause inflammatory complications in the heart or what is called acute rheumatic fever, which if not treated will cause rheumatic heart disease.
Symptoms of sore throat due to group A streptococcus β hemolyticus bacteria are fever, swallowing pain, headache, nausea and vomiting.
Symptoms of sore throat will appear after an incubation period of 2 to 3 days or a maximum of 4 to 5 days after the group A streptococcus β hemolyticus bacteria enters.
Treatment of sore throat due to group A β hemolyticus streptococcus must be with antibiotics which can be obtained with a doctor’s prescription.
In contrast to viral sore throat, treatment is sufficient with fever-reducing medication purchased at a pharmacy.
Plus, eat lots of nutritious food, drink water, and eat lots of vegetables and fruit.
This is because viral sore throat has the same symptoms as sore throat caused by group A β hemolyticus streptococcus, but is milder and occurs more quickly.
We must be aware of the symptoms of sore throat that we experience due to group A streptococcus β hemolyticus bacteria if the symptoms of sore throat have lasted for more than 5 days.
