Angina without fever is a fairly common occurrence, since the absence of this symptom indicates a catarrhal form of the disease, observed in 90% of cases.. It belongs to the group of banal acute tonsillitis, which are most common in patients..

In some cases, angina is not accompanied by an increase in body temperature In general, angina flowing without temperature in a child or an adult characterizes a milder course of the disease, without a deep inflammatory process. The causative agents are usually bacteria or viruses that enter the respiratory tract by airborne droplets upon contact with a carrier of the infection.

An alimentary route of infection is not excluded, in which pathogens enter the body when eating contaminated products, insufficient hand hygiene or using household items on which they are located..

The causative agents of sore throat can be transmitted by the alimentary route if personal hygiene is not followed Factors affecting the development of the disease In the presence of the following conditions / diseases, the risk of developing sore throat increases:.

purulent inflammation of the nasopharynx: sinusitis, nasopharyngitis, sinusitis and others;

caries, periodontal disease, inflammatory processes in the oral cavity;

autoinfection;

frequent hypothermia;

malnutrition;

trauma to the glands;

decreased immunity due to overwork, deficiency of vitamins and minerals, previously transferred infectious diseases.

The inflammatory process in acute tonsillitis mainly occurs in the area of \u200b\u200bthe palatine tonsils, however, in the absence of timely therapy, it can spread both to other parts of the pharynx and larynx, and to other tissues and organs.

What are the signs of angina without fever in adults and children? Acute tonsillitis, regardless of the form, goes through 4 stages:.

Incubation period.

II. First stage.

III. Full development of the clinical picture.

IV. Reconvalescence (relief of symptoms).

The incubation period is relatively short. The disease can manifest itself already after 10 hours from the moment of infection, and sometimes this process is delayed up to 2 days. The onset of the pathology is always acute - there is discomfort, burning and sore throat, chills, pain when swallowing both food and water.

With follicular and lacunar angina, the body temperature can rise to 39-40 ° C, while the catarrhal form can proceed without fever at all or at values \u200b\u200bnot exceeding 37-38 ° C.

Lymph nodes with angina increase In addition to these signs, angina can be accompanied by severe headache, fatigue, lack of appetite, drowsiness and aching bones. A physical examination of the oropharynx reveals a dense white coating on the tongue, hyperemia of the palatine arches and glands, as well as their increase in size. On palpation of the lymph nodes, their slight increase is noted..

In a severe course of pathology, changes in the composition of the blood are recorded, a specific plaque, purulent exudate or ulcers in the glands are observed. Symptoms include indigestion, muscle pain and increased sweating..

Catarrhal sore throat is most commonly diagnosed in children 4–5 years of age.. With the timely start of treatment, its manifestations can be completely stopped within 5-6 days. If you do not carry out therapy for the disease or do not bring it to the end, pathology may flow into more severe forms or into prolonged chronic tonsillitis..

Features of the development of sore throat during pregnancy During pregnancy, a sore throat, even without an accompanying high fever, is a danger. Severe angina for the mother is fraught with increased signs of intoxication, and for the fetus - the transfer of toxins through the blood and, as a result, a high risk of developing pathologies.

If symptoms of sore throat appear during pregnancy, even if they are not accompanied by an increase in body temperature, it is necessary to consult an ENT doctor.
