Today I see a patient on the move in my area.
-Doctor, I have angina!
-Agree….. Fever, sore throat???
-Yes as usual. So I took the antibiotics that my doctor usually gives me, amoxicillin.
-Ha yes, perfect, so we were able to select some resistant germs. We're going to have a little fun!!!
– ………………….
-Come by, please sit down.
Examination of the oral cavity, no visible tonsils, nothing, nada.
-You had your tonsils operated, right?
-Yes, a long time ago.
-so you do not have angina!
– ………………. (A silence supported by a suspicious look)
-Angina is tonsillitis (infection of the tonsils). Some authors talk about angina for pharyngitis, but in any case do not treat with antibiotics.
– …………….
Short! You have a rhino-pharyngitis, no antibiotics, a mouthwash and daily nose washes and it's going to be fine.
-Well, I'll have to tell that to my doctor!
Here, I just made a friend me…..
