Side-stream gangrene symptoms are often confused with those of pharyngitis. Despite the similarities of both diseases, there are some unmistakable signs of a side-hungrina. Here you can read about the symptoms of side-stream gangrene and how to recognize them.
Side Strangangina: Symptoms that typically occur
A lateral transept usually manifests itself first with dysphagia and a scratch in the throat. Then a dry cough is added. Under certain circumstances, this can develop into a severe irritable cough.
In addition, symptoms such as fatigue, fever, and general malaise occur in a side-stream gangrene. Also headache and body aches are possible.
Other classic side-hunger gangrene symptoms, the doctor can be found in the closer examination: When looking into the neck, the strongly reddened and thick swollen side strands. They are often dotted with small white dots. Swollen lymph nodes on the neck and under the jaw are also possible side-hunger gangrene symptoms. In mild cases, the swelling can only be palpated, in severe cases they are even visible outside. When palpating the neck usually a pressure pain occurs.
Other possible side-hungrina symptoms
Side strands are the lymphatic channels that run down the back wall of the pharynx. They are located near the so-called Eustachian tube right and left in the throat. The Eustachian tube is the connection between the pharynx and the ear. In a healthy person, it ensures pressure equalization in the ear when speaking or swallowing. If the side strands are severely inflamed, this pressure balance may be disturbed and ear pain may occur. The inflammation can spread through the Eustachian tube to the middle ear – it comes to a otitis media (otitis media). The doctor can recognize these when he looks into the ear with an otoscope.
The symptoms of the lateral transeptina and a normal pharyngitis are not very different at first sight. However, in a side-stream gangrene, symptoms such as pain and dysphagia are often more pronounced than with pharyngitis. This is because in the lateral transept the inflammation reaches deep into the throat; In pharyngitis, it usually extends only to the pharyngeal tonsils. Since the Seitenstrangangina especially affects people in which the pharyngeal tonsils were removed, the inflammation is not stopped here, but continues to continue. As a result, the neck swells more, the swallowing is heavier and the pain is stronger than with a pharynx.
Seitenstrangangina: symptoms in children
In children, a side-stream gangrene can be atypical: the little patient often gets sick, they have abdominal pain and vomiting can occur. In addition, a rash may occur that is reminiscent of scarlet fever. Such Page strand angina symptoms require a (re) doctor visit and often a drug treatment.
