Many people cannot distinguish between a cold and strep throat, and it does not make things easier for them because some of the symptoms of both of these ailments are the same. So of what symptom is a runny nose? And a sore throat? We advise!
Many people cannot independently say that they suffer from strep throat, mistakenly thinking that it is an ordinary cold. Meanwhile, angina is an acute inflammation of the palatine tonsils, accompanied by a sharp pain in the throat, often so severe that it makes it impossible to swallow. In angina, there is also a yellow hay bale on the tongue, an unpleasant smell from the mouth, and almond congestion. We also observe high temperature, chills and shortness of breath.
It is worth knowing that angina, unlike colds, is treated with antibiotics.
