The streptococcal microbe, which is increasing all over the world, caused the death of 3-year-old Aras Sönmez in Turkey. Experts warned about the streptococcal microbe, an infectious disease. Saying that the clearest symptom of the disease is sore throat, Pediatric Specialist Dr. Suat Gürkan stated that the sick child should definitely undergo a 10-day treatment process at home.
VIEWING RATE IS INCREASING GRADUALLY
Stating that there are more streptococcal cases than usual this month, Dr. Suat Gürkan said, “This disease is very common in recent days. Influenza was also very common last month. It is still common, but the streptococcal microbe has come to the fore this month. Most of the cases are streptococcal microbes. The other name of the microbe is beta. We come across with high fever and sore throat. High Apart from fever, it also causes problems such as malaise, weakness, bone and joint pain.Moreover, it can suddenly become aggravated.It can also cause rheumatic problems.
NOT TREATED CAUSES rheumatism problems
Therefore, for a child with a sore throat like this, it does not mean ‘Sore throat will pass, he should not take medicine’. Because after 2-3 weeks, this microbe can present itself with rheumatic problems. Therefore, it is necessary to first clarify whether this microbe exists and then take it under treatment for 10 days. If 10 days of treatment is not applied, this microbe can present with problems such as bone and joint pain and heart rheumatism.
MEDICINES SHOULD NOT BE LEFT DURING THE TREATMENT
Stating that the patient should be treated for 10 days and never stop taking drugs, Gürkan said, “Bone and joint pain occurs after 2-3 weeks. It usually goes away on its own, but very rarely, it can cause heart rheumatism. This can cause irreversible valve problems. Rheumatic heart It is usually this microbe that causes the disease. That’s why when we see such a child, we definitely complete the treatment for 10 days. That’s why we should not stop using drugs by saying, ‘The child is now cured, there is no fever, no sore throat.’ We also have tests to detect the microbe: Strep A For example, there is a rapid test. These tests can sometimes be negative. A patient of mine came to the emergency room yesterday with a high fever. He even tested positive for influenza swine flu. They sent me a photo of his throat. There were white spots in the throat and red dots in the vein. Streptococcal A tests were also found, 2 It was negative once. The child came, we did our examinations. Here, the physician has to use his art. Always The man should use his own experiences, not according to the laboratory. We started 10-day treatment so that our child would not have any problems in the future,” he said.
CHILDREN SHOULD NOT GO TO SCHOOL WHILE THEY ARE SICK
Noting that the disease is contagious, Dr. Gürkan warned that sick children should not be sent to school, “When a child with a throat problem comes, I also warn the families and write a prescription for them to apply the 10-day treatment. The most obvious feature is sore throat. The tonsils prick like thorns while eating. High fever, bone joint pain. and headaches are other symptoms. This is something that happens during the winter periods. Of course it will pass. It increases with the contact of schools. We need to be careful during these periods. We should not send our children to school when they are sick. We need to do this both so that he recovers faster and not infect his friends. “This time, they also infect their homes, and this can get even bigger. Those who are sick must rest at home and receive treatment,” he said.
