In addition, it may lead to neglect of sore throat (Rheumatic fever – RF), an inflammatory disease that appears in children and adults, and affects many systems in the body, such as the heart, joints, central nervous system, and skin.
It is the result of an untreated sore throat that includes the presence of Streptococcus A.
The prevalence of the disease is in the age range of 5-15, with no difference between boys and girls.
According to statistical data, it appears that 2% -3% of children who had streptococcal A type sore throat and were not treated properly should have rheumatic fever.
Treating sore throat
In general, sore throats are recovered automatically, without medical intervention, after the disease has taken its time. If the sore throat is due to a viral or bacterial infection that is associated with a high temperature, it is preferable to review and intervene with the doctor.
