Bacterial Pharyngitis treatment in Cuautla

Bacterial pharyngitis is inflammation of the pharynx (the throat) caused by bacteria. It causes a sore throat and discomfort when swallowing, and it is distinguished from viral forms by certain features.

Frequent symptoms:

• Sore throat, sometimes severe
• Difficulty or discomfort when swallowing
• Fever and, at times, swollen lymph nodes in the neck

When to see a doctor? When the sore throat is strong, comes with fever, or does not improve, an evaluation is advisable to determine its origin.

Which specialist handles it? The otolaryngologist and the general practitioner assess this condition, and the pediatrician does so in children. A professional check-up makes it possible to distinguish the type of pharyngitis and guide the appropriate care.
