Strep throat
presents problem
The time of year is ap
proaching when sore throats and
colds are common. Some sore
throats are caused by streptococ
cus germs ("strep throat") and
are most common among chil
dren and young adults. Strep
throat occurs most during the
winter months when children are
confined in school.
As with any sore throat, using
salt water gargles or Tylenol and
rest are helpful. However, strep
throat needs special attention.
It is extremely important to
treat strep throat with antibiot
ics. This is because it can result
in rheumatic fever? if left un
treated. Rheumatic fever is po
tentially a serious disease that
results in inflammation and scar
ring of the valves of the heart
most commonly the mitral valve,
located on the side that does the
pumping to most of the body.
Most people recover from
acute rheumatic fever if they get
proper treatment. There may be
permanent damage to the heart
especially with repeated epi
sodes. Once a child has had the
disease, he or she becomes more
susceptible to another attack
than other children.
It is impossible to know if a
child has strep throat unless be
or she is seen by a physician?
