The couple will live in Sore Throat be based on a throat culture a swab of the throat that is smeared on a special laboratory dish and incubated overnight and an examination by a physician. Even the most astute clinician is likely to be wrong half the time trying to diagnose a strep throat without a culture, and in some cases the culture may be negative but the physician, on the basis of his examination, has strong reason to suspect strep as the cause.

If the diagnosis is strep, it should be treated with 10 days of penicillin, or a suitable alternative (not tetracycline or sulfa drugs) in the case of penicillin allergy. It is crucial not to stop taking the antibiotic when the symptoms disappear, but to continue the therapy, as prescribed, for the entire 10 days. A repeat culture is advisable after therapy is completed, to be sure the infection has cleared. A By Jane E. Brody (c) 1977 New York Timei New York Sore throat, one of the most common plagues of man (especially during cold weather), is also one of the most frequently mistreated ailments.

A sore throat is not a disease but a symptom. To say your throat is sore is no more informative about its cause than if you complain of a stomachache or headache. The cause of a sore throat can be as trivial as having talked too loud and long or smoked too much or as serious as leukemia or tuberculosis. Sore throat may be a symptom of a serious bacterial infection, infectious mononucleosis, sinusitis, syphilis or a tumor. But by far the most common cause is a viral infection, for which time is the only cure.

Lest a sore throat with a serious and treatable cause be overlooked, it is important to know when to consult a doctor and when you can safely rely on home remedies to relieve your discomfort and father time to heal you. Any one of the following circumstances warrant a prompt call to a physician: If the sore throat is severe or has lasted longer than a week: if it is accompanied by a cough, hoarseness, difficulty in breathing or a temperature over 100 degrees Fahrenheit: if similar soreness -has recurred several times in recent weeks, or if the patient has ever had rheumatic fever. These circumstances do not necessarily mean that the sore throat is caused by a serious illness but could be a sign of a condition that warrants medical attention. Strep Throat The most common serious cause of sore throat, particularly in children, is an infection by the bacterium beta hemolytic streptococcus, or "strep" for short. Unlike viral sore throats, strep throat can be cured by appropriate antibiotic therapy and, also unlike a virus infection, failure to treat strep throat adequately can sometimes lead to rheumatic fever and permanent damage to the heart or kidneys.

If sore throat is associated with a high fever, headache and swollen glands in the neck, the chances are that it is a strep infection. The pain -of strep can be so mild that it is hardly noticed or so severe that it interferes with swallowing. Strep is a common cause of sore throat in late winter and early spring. A diagnosis of strep throat should specific treatment. Whereas the symptoms of strep tend to come on suddenly, viral sore throats usually start slowly, often as a feverish feeling, with headache, loss of appetite, runny nose and dry cough as accompaniments.

One viral sore throat that may be confused with strep is known as her-pangina, a common summertime illness in children. Temperatures may soar to 105 degrees F. The patient has little energy and very painful raised sores in the back of the mouth. Symptoms usually disappear by the fourth day. Relief Possible Although there is no cure for viral sore throat, various measures which, as one doctor put it, "keep the patient busy while he is getting well" can relieve the soreness.

The best of these is gargling every few hours with half a teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water. Half a teaspoon of molasses or corn syrup can stubstitute for the salt. The gargle helps to wash away irritants and mucus. It is also helpful to drink lots of warm liquids (the warmth increases the blood flow to the throat, bringing the body's natural defenses to the site of the infection), and a humidifier or vaporizer may be used, especially in the bedroom. In fact, adding moisture to the air you breathe is one of the best ways to prevent wintertime sore throats, since the heated, dry indoor air dries the mucous membranes and paralyzes the cilia (hairs) that line the respiratory tract, two natural defense mechanisms that protect against invading No Smoking Most doctors recommend against prolonged use of medicated lozenges because they may mask the symptoms of more serious illness.

Sucking candy works just as well to keep the throat moist. It is also a good idea to avoid irritants, such as smoking or spicy foods, until a sore throat heals. Some youngsters who suffer from severe, repeated infections of the tonsils (chronic tonsilitis) and, as a consequence, lack energy, have poor appetites and fail to gain weight, may be treated by tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy surgical removal of the tonsils and adenoids. Although helpful for the small percentage of children with severe, recurrent tonsilitis, doctors today generally against this procedure as a treatment for recurrent colds or other respiratory infections.

Some prescribe penicillin for five days as a preventive for such contacts even before an infection develops. Not a Cure-all It is unwise to give antibiotics if strep (or some other bacterium) is not the cause of a sore throat. They do no good and may do harm.

Antibiotics, much abused in modern medicine, can cause serious side effects, including allergic reactions and the emergence of infectious bacteria that resist antibiotic treatment. Your doctor may well be practicing the best medicine if all he does is tell you to rest, gargle and take asprin.
