Tablets for angina in adults

Angina is an infectious disease, very contagious and practically not amenable to treatment with alternative methods. The most effective remedy is good sore throat pills. But you need to choose them very carefully, and not swallow the first antibiotics that come to hand. Moreover, they give good results only if the causative agents of the disease are bacteria, and with the viral or fungal nature of angina, they are almost useless.

Causes and Symptoms

Angina is called acute tonsillitis - inflammation of the tonsils, which in 90% of cases occurs under the influence of pathogenic microorganisms that have entered the oral cavity. The tonsils are mainly composed of lymphoid tissue and are a natural barrier that takes the first blow when attacked by microbes.

In a person with strong immunity, the body quickly copes with the infection on its own. But if the natural defenses are weakened, then bacteria begin to actively multiply on the surface of the tonsils, provoking an inflammatory process. In the acute stage, angina manifests itself as characteristic clearly expressed symptoms:

sudden and strong rise in temperature up to 39^OC and more;
sharp pain and burning in the throat, which are worse when swallowing;
severe headache, chills, general weakness, nausea, dizziness;
submandibular and cervical lymph nodes are enlarged and painful on palpation;
tonsils are red, greatly enlarged, have a loose structure;
the surface of the tonsils is covered with a yellow (whitish) bloom or abscesses;
The palatine arches are edematous, form ridges around the tonsils.

The presence of such symptoms clearly indicates that an infection is present in the body, and the disease is rapidly progressing.

Laboratory tests, primarily bacterial sowing of mucus on the microflora, help to confirm the diagnosis and determine the type of causative agent of the disease. At the same time, in laboratory conditions, you can check the sensitivity of microbes to various groups of drugs and choose the most suitable one.

Effective antibiotics

What antibiotics to drink with angina should be decided by the doctor. In severe condition and very high temperature, when it is necessary to take immediate action, broad-spectrum drugs can be prescribed until the test results are obtained.

If the patient's condition is satisfactory, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory tablets are first used, and antibiotics are prescribed later.

Antibiotic injections are prescribed for severe conditions of the patient or when the tablets for sore throat cannot be swallowed due to severe sore throat.

The most effective drugs are:

"Amoxicillin" is a strong antibiotic with a broad spectrum of action of the penicillin group, which quickly copes with the main pathogens of tonsillitis: staphylococci and streptococci. It helps to get rid of tonsillitis and diseases that often accompany it: laryngitis, sinusitis, bronchitis. The drug has a minimum of contraindications and is well tolerated.
"Flemoxin Solutab" is a powerful drug that can cope not only with angina, but also the complications it causes: intestinal, renal and other diseases. Effective against most pathogenic microorganisms. It helps well with purulent sore throat, but often provokes allergic reactions.
Biseptol is a complex antibiotic that destroys pathogenic bacteria. Quickly improves the patient's condition with angina, but at the same time has a detrimental effect on the beneficial microflora. In parallel with its use, a course of multivitamins and high-quality nutrition that can restore the intestinal microflora is required. It is strictly prohibited during pregnancy and lactation.
"Augmentin" is a broad-spectrum antibiotic of the penicillin series, which is harmful to most pathogenic bacteria. It is used to treat tonsillitis and other diseases of the upper respiratory tract. Has a minimum of contraindications and side effects. Its use in urgent need is possible even during pregnancy.
"Cephalexin" - the drug belongs to cephalosporins and is used in cases where drugs based on penicillin are ineffective. Gives quick and tangible results, while eliminating complications or preventing their development. The drug is rarely allergic, but it is not recommended for kidney and gastrointestinal tract diseases.
"Sumamed" - created on the basis of the antibiotic azithromycin, which copes well with most pathogens of the upper respiratory tract. Refers to macrolides and helps to eliminate infection that has spread to other organs. Contraindicated in people with renal and hepatic impairment.
Erythromycin is a macrolide antibiotic with a broad spectrum of action. Quickly eliminates the symptoms of sore throat: relieves sore throat, relieves active inflammatory processes. Has many side effects, use with caution.

It must be remembered that the effect of antibiotics can weaken or enhance other drugs and even food: milk, grapefruit juice, etc. Antihistamines are often prescribed along with them - they prevent the development of candidiasis and an allergic reaction to the drug.

Antibiotics do not bring down the temperature, therefore, antipyretics are also used in severe conditions.

It is necessary to take pills for angina in strict accordance with the instructions and the dosage prescribed by the doctor. Some of them should be drunk at a certain time: before (or after) meals or at strict intervals.

Antibiotics are powerful drugs that require very careful attention. Only in this case they are absolutely safe.

Absorbent tablets

Topical preparations such as lozenges are a good alternative to systemic antibiotics. They even have a certain advantage, since they act directly in the focus of inflammation and at the same time do not destroy a person's own immune defenses. But they cannot cope with complications and severe inflammation.

Here is a list of the best absorbable tablets for angina in adults:

"Faringosept" is the most effective mild remedy for sore throat and sore throat. Contains an antibiotic, but practically has no contraindications. Quickly relieves inflammation, acts bacteriostatically, preventing the growth of microbes.

There are other effective pills for sore throats, which the pharmacist will willingly help you to find, if you contact him with such a request and describe the symptoms. But, despite the fact that these drugs are dispensed without a prescription, you must strictly follow the instructions for use.

Angina at an early stage can still be cured only with topical preparations. But if the disease progresses, medical attention is needed.

Aids

For a disease such as sore throat, pills are not the only treatment. The disease requires an integrated approach - it is necessary to rinse the throat, wash the tonsils, physiotherapy procedures: compresses, warming up, rubbing. Untreated tonsillitis quickly turns into a chronic form, in which serious complications develop over time.

Proven folk remedies perfectly complement the course of treatment with tablets: decoctions of medicinal herbs, honey, propolis, essential oils.

With angina, you need to drink a lot. It soothes and moisturizes irritated mucous membranes, while neutralizing toxins and removing the decay products of drugs from the body.

In order to prevent the development of chronic tonsillitis, it is necessary to complete the course of treatment. With correctly selected drugs and the fulfillment of all medical prescriptions, a sore throat can be completely cured in 10-14 days. After that, it is advisable to once again take mucus from the oral cavity for analysis to make sure that there are no hidden inflammatory processes.

In order not to have to be treated for sore throat again, it is necessary, within a couple of weeks after recovery, to take active measures to strengthen the body's own immune defenses. It is advisable to give up bad habits, exercise regularly, eat right and spend more time in the fresh air.

Avoiding cold drinks or walking during the cold season is undesirable, but the temperature should be lowered gradually. An excellent means for hardening is a contrast shower - it activates not only the immune defense, but also the regeneration processes, rejuvenating the body. And then you will have to go to the doctor for help and drink pills from the throat with angina much less often.
