A NOTE FROM SCHOOL NURSE
We have noticed an increase in cases related to sore throat among our students since the return after the holiday. It is important to be aware of the potential causes and symptoms of a sore throat. A sore throat can be caused by either viruses or bacteria, and each type requires different treatments. Sore throats caused by viruses are very common in schools due to their contagious nature. Symptoms may include pain when swallowing, redness in the back of the throat, swollen tonsils or lymph nodes on both sides of the neck, hoarseness or loss of voice for more than two days, as well as general fatigue and fever.
On other hand , bacterial infections are less common but tend to cause more severe problems if left untreated . Common signs include high fever, yellowish patches on tonsils along with thick white mucus coating them plus swollen glands around the neck area.
Treatment for a viral sore throat usually involves increasing water intake, and restful sleep combined with over-the-counter medications, such as Tylenol. Those that are due to bacterial causes require prescribed antibiotics.
