There are several types of acute angina. These include angina, which occurs in catarrhal, follicular, lacunar, and infectious diseases. The disease is characterized by swelling, redness of the tonsils, pus on the surface. The disease is more common in preschool and school-age children. Symptoms include sore throat, difficulty swallowing, general weakness, fever up to 38 degrees, and headache. Angina can last from 3-5 days to 7-10 days, depending on its clinical course. During treatment, the patient’s general condition improves, swelling and redness of the glands decrease, and purulent discharge disappears. Regional lymph nodes become smaller. Acute angina is treated in an outpatient setting, and inpatient treatment is recommended if complications (parathyroid abscess, posterior pharyngeal abscess, tonsillogenic intoxication) are observed. Rheumatism and kidney damage are common complications of angina. In order to avoid the above complications, it is necessary to continue the recommendations that should be consulted with an ENT doctor with the onset of the disease.
