Angina or, as doctors officially call it, acute tonsillitis, is characterized by inflammation of the tonsils. Bacteria, staphylococcus, pneumococcus, viruses or even fungi - all of them, penetrating the body, can provoke the development of a disease such as tonsillitis. In adults, treatment can be carried out in different ways. It should be noted that there are some predisposing factors: among them, physicians include frequent hypothermia, malnutrition, lack of vitamins and constant exposure to dusty rooms.
Symptomatics
How does angina manifest itself in adults? Treatment should begin immediately if you observe the following symptoms: the primary stage is manifested in the defeat of the tonsils. The person feels that it hurts to swallow and talk. If not addressed immediately, the tonsils may swell and change color from pale pink to bright scarlet, as well as become covered with a characteristic yellow-gray coating. A concomitant symptom is high fever; the lymph nodes under the jaw drastically increase in size, responding with sharp pain to each touch.
Therapy
Now you know how angina occurs in adults. Treatment, as noted above, includes a number of procedures. It is worth emphasizing that all kinds of folk recipes can remove external manifestations, but will not save you from the root cause of the disease - a virus or infection. A course of antibiotics is needed to kill them. Do not forget that only the attending physician can prescribe them.
Rinses
Treatment of sore throats in adults is not complete without rinsing an inflamed throat - they relieve pain and kill germs. Doctors advise rinsing your mouth before each meal - this is necessary so that germs do not enter the stomach with food. In any pharmacy you can buy an antiseptic. In addition, the solution can be prepared independently: any medicinal plants that you find in your first-aid kit will go into action. Sage, chamomile, plantain, calendula, mint, eucalyptus, and even ordinary water with soda and s alt will all help the patient recover.
Inhalations
When angina is very severe in adults, treatment should include inhalations with essential oils. Any oil will do: fir, eucalyptus, pine. All of them will quickly relieve pain and relieve you of wheezing.
Compresses
Warm compresses from cabbage leaves, mustard or warm bread are great for relieving inflammation. Just apply the remedy to the sore spot and fix it with a special bandage. The compress should be changed every few hours.
Diet
Medications for sore throats in adults usually do not help (or help, but not quickly enough) unless a special diet is followed. Until you fully recover, you will have to give up everything spicy and fried. Meat dishes should also be limited. But what you can and should eat is all kinds of kissels and cereals. Also, in case of illness, abundant drinking is shown, but not coffee and juices, but green tea, fruit drinks, herbal decoctions. Follow all these simple recommendations, and the disease will recede.
