Stitches in the throat. Popular methods for local use. Elimination of infectious pathogen

In winter, many of us feel a sore throat, which is caused by general hypothermia, viral infection or irritation of the pharynx mucous membrane with cold, freezing air. Despite the large incidence in winter, there are still registered cases of pain in the oropharynx during the warm season.

The reason for this may be:

abuse of cold foods (ice cream) and liquids (juices, kvass);
fungal infection after prolonged antibiotic therapy;
stay in a dusty room;
mechanical damage to the mucous membrane of the pharynx by solid products (crackers), due to prolonged conversation, shouting or singing;
allergic factor (wool, dust, down, pollen, mold), which, after contact with the nasal / oropharyngeal mucosa, provokes the development of allergic genesis pharyngopathy.

Separately, it should be said about thyroid gland diseases, in which glandular tissue proliferation and compression are observed. nerve endings. In this case, an endocrinologist consultation is necessary. Symptoms appear gradually and are disturbed for a long time, despite home treatment.

Of course, viral diseases during the summer period are not excluded, as well as the exacerbation of chronic bacterial infectionFor example, antritis, tonsillitis, against the background of a decrease in immune defense.

Often the cause of tonsillitis is streptococcus, but infection with staphylococcus or hemophilus wand is also possible.

Medical tactic

If you have a sore throat, what should you do at home? To quickly deal with a symptom, you need to know the cause of its occurrence.

proper nutrition with a high content of vitamins makes it possible to strengthen the immune system, which will speed recovery; healthy sleep and proper rest;
reduction of physical stress;
frequent airing of the room (not a draft), wet cleaning; air humidification
; peace vocal cords (do not shout, talk less);

Amiksin need to take one tablet on the first, second and fourth day. The dosage of the tablet is 125 mg.

In addition, Aflubin, Ocylococcinum, Amizon, Influcidum and other drugs have antiviral effects.

If the sore throat is caused by exacerbation bacterial disease or there is a primary infection, a person is worried about febrile hyperthermia and severe malaise. Tickling quickly turns into severe painaggravated by talking, swallowing, and even observed in sleep.

If a bacterial disease is suspected, a study is required, the material for which is taken from the oropharynx as a smear. Based on the results of baccosev and antibioticograms, antibacterial agents are prescribed. Often used:

Amoxiclav, which belongs to penicillins, is most effective when streptococcal infection. Assigned to 1 tablet (500 mg) twice a day for 7 days.
Cefotaxime - 1 tablet twice a day for 7 days.
Azitrox (500 mg) - 1 tablet once a day for three days. The duration of the course and dosage may vary depending on the severity of the disease.

Local Therapy

Rinsing solutions, in the form of a spray or tablet form preparations, can help get rid of tickling. These drugs have antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, anti-edematous, analgesic and regenerative effects.

activation of bacterial pathogens with the localization of an infectious-inflammatory focus in the throat contributes to soreness, febrile hyperthermia, severe intoxication syndrome, but runny nose is extremely rare;
tearing up the throat can occur when activating a fungal infection, especially often developing after a long course of antibiotic therapy;
often throats after exposure to negative environmental factors, for example, when visiting dusty rooms, after a long walk in cold, polluted with dust, smog, and industrial air waste;
after shouting, prolonged talking or singing, micro-damage of the mucous membranes is possible, after which it begins to sore in the throat
if persistent rinsing and rinsing are not effective, it is worthwhile to suspect thyroid gland pathology when the proliferation of glandular tissue leads to compression of nerve endings;
it often tears up the throat after contact with an allergic factor, such as wool, dust, down, or pollen. In this case, the allergen is in contact with the mucous membrane of the pharynx, which is manifested by this symptom. In addition, when inhaled through the nose, a runny nose is possible;

Severe sore throat, turning into pain, may indicate the development of tonsillitis.

Given the bacterial origin of the disease, antibacterial drugs are prescribed. The antibiotic group is selected based on the results of the antibiotic, the material for which is taken from the pharynx in the form of a smear.

When tonsillitis is considered a sore throat as the main symptom. The throat, as a target for infection, is primarily affected by streptococcal microorganisms, after which it is possible to spread them in the bloodstream.

Dosage antibacterial drug appointed based on the severity of the disease, the presence of comorbidity and allergic reactions.

When the throat is very sore, in most cases a penicillin-like series of antibiotics, for example, Amoxiclav, which has a powerful effect on streptococci, learns. Also, tonsillitis can be cured with the help of the cephalosporin antibacterial group (Cephalexim, Zinnat).

In rare cases, they try to remove pathogenic microorganisms with the help of a macrolide (Sumamed, Klacid) or a fluoroquinolone series of antibiotics (Levofloxacin).

Fungal origin can be cured with the help of a drug-induced antifungal course using Fluconazole. Its action is aimed at inhibiting specific enzymes, on which the activity of fungal pathogens depends.

Eliminated pain can be treated with inhalation. To date, the use of a nebulizer is widespread. It is quite easy to use and does not require a lot of storage space. Due to the control over the diameter of the particles obtained, it is possible to calculate the depth of their penetration depending on the disease. Treatment of tickling in the throat does not require splitting of the drug is not small particles, since therapeutic effect It is necessary to render on a mucous membrane

runny nose; nasal congestion;
heartburn;
thirst.

The list of causes is as big. Diseases in which perversion is inherent, can have both inflammatory character, and other character. SARS, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, laryngitis are of inflammatory origin. In this case, tickling can be a sign of an infection that descends to the lower airway and developing into tracheitis, bronchitis and, if you start the disease, into pneumonia.

As for non-inflammatory diseases, they are also sufficient: problems with the thyroid gland or other endocrine diseases, such as diabetes, Itsenko-Cushing syndrome; diseases that have developed due to the increased tension of the voice associated with the profession (teachers, miners, singers, metallurgists, broadcasters, vendors, etc.); brain tumor; brain syphilis; diseases gastrointestinal tract; allergy; central disorders nervous system. It can also be caused not at all by illnesses, but by dry indoor air, smoking, lack of vitamins A, B, C, inhalation of smoky air (working as a fireman) or caustic chemicals (working in a chemical industry).
