what is the age of the disease streptococcal pharyngitis?
486190
Age?  Germs are probably older than we are and strep is caused by a germ called streptococcal bacteria.  It wouldn't have been diagnosed until the 20th century with the advancement of modern medicine.  Strep throat is diagnosed by doing a throat cutlure (rubbing a cotton swab against the back of your throat).  I can't guess the age of streptoccoal pharyngitis which is a diagnosis/condition caused by a germ that is dateless.

100f is a slight fever. keep an eye on it thou.  keep giving her antibiotics. I'm sure the doc gave her some. Right? Well, did he do a exam on her tonsils?? My kids just did. They had strep throat. Give her med. for pain like Motrin or Tylenol and will help with fever. Mine were at 103f and Motrin chewable pills knocked it out. The fever...Good luck.. If all else fails and the fever does not go away. Take her to the hospital right away. Don't overdose her...... Yes she may not want to eat but keep fluids in her that is very important for dehydration...she may be having, as I like to say to my 5 kids...growing pains in their legs....L

Unfortunately, there is such thing as reoccurring strep throat. I ended up getting strep throat six times in three months, and in the end had to take a massive shot of penicillin.

Go see a doctor, you may have tonsilitis or strep throat.

Get a throat culture if you haven't already to rule out strep or mono.

When you friend had pharyngitis first, the doc administered penicillin. Over time however the bacteria got 'resistant' to penicillin (most probably because either she took too much of it or did not take the penicillin on time/at regular intervals like she should have) meaning that it now has a new gene that prevents it from being affected by penicillin - thats the prob with antibiotics - on long term use most bacteria get resistant. \n\nSo now the remedy is use a stronger antibiotic that would work against the bacterial infection. Ask the doc to prescribe a stronger antibiotic, however if it is not taken regulalry, the bacteria can become antibiotic tolerant.

Strep throat is a bacterial infection caused by a bacteria called streptococcus.  While treating this infection with an antibiotic will speed the recovery from this infection, it is not necessary.  A relatively healthy person's immunce system can fight off this infection.

I had my tonsils removed when I was 18. I was constantly getting strep and my tonsils were too big. Recovery was longer, I lost about 15 lbs in 2 weeks. But it was worth it because I have only had stre 1 time since I had the taken out and I am 33 now. Be prepared though for the healing.The younger eople are the faster they bounce back.

Strep throat can go on indefinitely un less treated by a doctor. Usually, though it subsides with a week. strep throat can migrate to other parts of your body, and cause organs to be infected and shut down. It can migrate to the ears, and cause deafness. It can migrate to the heart and lungs causing pnemonia and heart defects. and yes, it can be passe on to other people, infact, you probably got it from someone else.  Don't pick at the sores in your throat, because they will infect the rest of your body. \nWash your hands EVERY time you use the washroom, even if its just to brush your hair. Wash your hands before you eat, or after you blow your nose. Get a new toothbrush when the infection is over, and throw out all tissues, prefurably in the toilet or fire. Don't shake hands with anyone who has a sore throat or cold. Keep your hands away from your nose and mouth, and eat and drink properly. thos will help you from spreading the disease, or catching another one.

Your symptoms are clinically called pharyngitis.  Strep throat (Streptococcal A) is very common but sometimes  Mononucleosis or Epstein bar virus can present at the same time as or present symptoms of a step throat.  It is worth seeing a doctor for treatment when your symptoms don't clear up in a couple days and if you feel increasingly fatigued.  Treatment for strep throat is penicillin antibiotics.  Below I listed a patient site for basic medical info and two other sites with more medical information.  Hope it helps.

You can get strep throat with or without your tonsils.  I got strep when I had my tonsils and I just got over strep two weeks ago and I had my tonsils out two years ago.

Yeah, it's usually related to strep throat for me.``````

Strep throat is a bacterial infection of the tissues in the back of the throat and the tonsils. The tissues become irritated and inflamed, causing a sudden, severe sore throat.\n\nStrep throat is caused by streptococcal (strep) bacteria. There are many different strains of strep bacteria, some of which cause more serious illness than others. The type of strep that most commonly infects the throat is called group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus (GABS). Other types that can sometimes infect the throat are groups C and G strep bacteria.

Background: Upper respiratory infections are common infections and include pharyngitis, sinusitis, epiglottitis, laryngotracheitis, and the common cold. Viruses play a significant role in the pathogenesis of many of these infections. Bacteria and other organisms also are responsible.\n\nPharyngitis is an inflammatory process of the pharynx, hypopharynx, uvula, and tonsils that can be caused by viral or bacterial infection and, occasionally, both. Distinguishing between these infections is important because rheumatic fever and acute glomerulonephritis may complicate untreated group A beta-hemolytic streptococcal infections (GAS), but they usually can be prevented by appropriate antibiotic treatment.\n\nSinusitis is an inflammatory process involving the paranasal sinuses (maxillary, frontal, ethmoid, and sphenoid). It usually is a bacterial complication of a viral upper respiratory infection.\n\nEpiglottitis is a life-threatening disease observed most frequently in children aged 1-6 years, often during the fall and winter. Although less common, it also can affect adults.\n\nLaryngotracheitis usually is the result of viral infection. The subglottic area and trachea are involved, whereas the area above the true vocal cords is spared. When children younger than 5 years have the infection, it is called croup.\n\nThe common cold is a mild, self-limited, catarrhal syndrome caused, for the most part, by members of 5 families of viruses. A small proportion of colds are complicated by bacterial infections of the paranasal sinuses and the middle ear, which require antimicrobial therapy.\n\nPathophysiology: In infectious pharyngitis, bacteria or viruses may invade the pharyngeal mucosa directly, causing a local inflammatory response. Other viruses, such as Rhinovirus, cause irritation of pharyngeal mucosa secondary to nasal secretions.\n\nStreptococcal infections are characterized by local invasion and release of extracellular toxins and proteases. In addition, M protein fragments of certain serotypes of GAS are similar to myocardial sarcolemma antigens and are linked to rheumatic fever and subsequent heart valve damage. Acute glomerulonephritis may result from antibody-antigen complex deposition in glomeruli.\n\nThe most common local predisposing cause of suppurative sinusitis is a viral upper respiratory tract infection. Inflammation and edema in the ostial meatal complex can obstruct the sinus ostium, leading to hypo-oxygenation of the sinus, disturbed ciliary and mucous blanket function, and diminished local resistance.\n\nIn epiglottitis, supraglottic structures become inflamed and edematous, leading to narrowed airway and respiratory compromise. Epiglottitis in children almost always is caused by Haemophilus influenzae type b (HIB). In adults, it frequently is nonbacterial.\n\nLaryngitis mainly affects children and begins with a prodrome of a few days of a mild viral upper respiratory infection. As the infection extends to the proximal trachea, diffuse inflammation with exudate and edema of the subglottic area causes narrowing of the airway. The cricoid ring of the trachea, in the immediate subglottic area, is the narrowest portion of the airway in a child. A small amount of edema can cause significant airway obstruction. Inspiratory stridor occurs when air flows through this narrowed subglottic area.\n\nInfection with common cold viruses characteristically is short in duration and self-limited.\n\nFrequency:\n\n    * In the US: Children in day care in the United States are estimated to have an upper respiratory infection approximately every 3 weeks from the age of 6 months to 2 years. The incidence then decreases, and, by the time of school entry, a child has about 3-6 episodes of upper respiratory infection per year. Most of these infections include pharyngitis and/or laryngitis. Viral upper respiratory infections frequently occur in mini-epidemics. They are more common in the winter, except for those caused by enteroviruses, which

Pneumococcal disease is caused by bacteria (Streptococcus pneumoniae) that can attack different parts of the body. The bacteria can cause serious infections of the lungs (pneumonia), the bloodstream (bacteremia) and the covering of the brain (meningitis). \nhttp://www.idph.state.il.us/public/hb/hbpneumo.htm\n\n\n\nPneumococcal disease is a leading cause of serious illness in children and adults throughout the world. The disease is caused by a common bacterium, the pneumococcus, which can attack different parts of the body. When bacteria invade the lungs, they cause the most common form of community-acquired bacterial pneumonia; when bacteria invade the bloodstream, they cause bacteremia; and when they invade the covering of the brain, they cause meningitis. Pneumococci may also cause otitis media (middle ear infection) and sinusitis. Currently there are more than 90 known pneumococcal types; the ten most common types account for approximately 62 percent of invasive disease worldwide.\nhttp://www.nfid.org/factsheets/pneumofacts.html\n:)

With strep the amox is going to take longer than that. You should see a pretty big difference in the next 2 days. Strep sucks! Don't forget the water, very important for the amox to work properly. Best of luck & hope he feels better soon.
