Throat
infections occur quite a bit and they do occur commonly. When we look at
someone with a throat infection, we try to find out if there some underlying
etiology to be concerned about; for instance, strep is a bacteria which can
cause a throat infection. If it's a virus as a cause, physicians don't
get nearly quite concerned because we know that with gargling and with watching
the temperature you can make a big difference. It's when people actually
are in a situation where they have serious throat infections with bacterial
origins that can be a concern.
We always
appreciate your comments.
