Throat Infection Homeopathy
Strep throat is a bacterial infection-bacteria called group A Streptococcus (group A strep) that can make your throat sore and scratchy.
Strep throat occupies only a small portion of sore throats.
If it is left untreated, strep throat can cause many other complications, like both kidney inflammation and rheumatic fever. Rheumatic fever can lead to pain and inflamed joints, a particular type of rash, or heart and lungs damage.
Incidence:
Strep throat is most common among children, but it affects all ages.
If a child has symptoms of strep throat, visit your Homoeopathic physician for all testing and treatment.
Strep throat causes:
Strep throat is generally associated with bacteria called Streptococcus pyogenes or group A Streptococcus (also known as group A strep, or GAS). You can catch strep throat if you frequently touch your eyes, nose, or mouth after being exposed to these bacteria, like when someone with strep throat coughs or sneezes close to you. Strep throat can be spread when you share food or a drink with someone with an active strep throat infection.
Risk factors: Strep throat is most common in school-going children between the ages of 5 to 16 years. But it affects siblings, parents, and teachers who have direct contact with school-going students.
How Contagious Strep Throat:
- close contact with someone who has strep throat
- spending longer time in crowded areas settings like schools, daycare centers, or military facilities
- being between the ages of 5 and 15.
- having a school-aged child
- an adult who has frequent contact with small children, like a teacher or healthcare professional. Because close contact with individuals is the greatest risk factor for strep throat, the illness commonly spreads among members of a house.
