Introduction
Throat Diseases are very common infectious diseases that people are infected with. Such diseases often combine forces with flue and cold. Although common but not necessarily harmless, throat diseases have many types and variations. Some disorders can be even life threatening and others can grow to be more serious if not taken care of. Throat basically acts like a tunnel which takes your food down to stomach via esophagus and transmits air to lungs. Only by this we can fathom how significant is the role of throat in the human body.
History
These throat diseases have been around since the beginning of human race; of course back then, due to lack of technological progress, no record was made of such disorders, but in later time slowly different physicians started to acknowledge these diseases.
Features
Throat diseases can be anything from a mere sore throat to throat cancer. All in between falls in the domain of these throat disorders. In case of any particular disease, it is essential to identify the particular disorder for its treatment to begin. With time and progress of medical sciences, diseases have progressed as well in strength and in variety. There are now many types of throat diseases, like Tonsillitis which is an infection in the tonsils inside the throat. It causes a sensation of inflammation in the tonsils which is caused by a sort of viral bacteria. As a result the person having tonsillitis has sore throat and experiences fever. Although cure has been found but it does not really slow the process down. A normal man/woman takes 2-3 weeks to recover completely from this infection. Strep throat is another sort of throat disorder. It is very common in the age group of teens. Quite similar to Tonsillitis, it also causes inflammation in the tonsils causing head ache and burning sensation in eyes. Adults also tend to develop this disorder. Usually this viral disease is rampant during the end of the fall season and in the beginning of the spring season. One of the reasons that strep throat becomes such a significant problem is due to its contagiousness. It latches from one person to another. But the good news is that this viral infection is very much curable. Fever increases the discharge of fluid from human body, therefore it is essential for a patient to keep the fluid intake up to avoid dehydration. Fluids should include things like warm soups and warm milk. Avoid cold intake of beverages or water. Soups especially will help soothe the irritation of strep throat. Gargling with salt water before going to bed and early in morning is also a great technique that has been used for a long time and is very effective against strep throat. Ibuprofen is one of the medicines that have proven to work adequately against strep throat and other throat disorders so by using it, you will definitely get the relief you are looking for.
