How to quickly get a sore throat at home?

Causes of tonsillitis

Knowing how to get a sore throat, a person is able to protect himself and his loved ones from this disease.

Tonsillitis is caused by several categories of pathogens:

Candida fungi. Fungi act together with cocci.
Viruses. In most cases, tonsillitis can be caused by adenoviruses entering the body. Less commonly, the disease is caused by the herpes virus.
Bacteria (staphylococci, group A β-hemolytic streptococci).

How to distinguish a viral sore throat from a bacterial one?

Only a qualified specialist can determine the nature of the disease. But everyone should know something about the signs of bacterial and viral sore throat in children and adults. This is necessary at least so that you don’t make mistakes before the doctor arrives.

Viral sore throat is usually a consequence of ARVI. Therefore, it is characterized by an acute onset, the temperature can rise to 38 ° C, which in this case is the body’s immune reaction. In this case, all the symptoms of ARVI are observed - runny nose, cough, signs of general intoxication (headache, and it seems to be concentrated in the forehead area).

Symptoms of a sore throat

Signs of the disease may differ depending on the form. Common symptoms include:

Temperature rises to 39ºС-40ºС.
Enlargement and redness of the tonsils.
Headache.
Aches all over the body.
Enlarged lymph nodes located on the back of the head and under the jaw. When palpating the lymph nodes, the patient experiences discomfort.
Discomfort in the throat, pain when swallowing.
Pain when trying to turn your head to the side.
Decreased or loss of appetite.
Redness of the throat.
Increased salivation. The symptom is common in children.
Hoarseness of voice.

In a child, the disease may be accompanied by abdominal pain and diarrhea. Nausea and vomiting may occur. An additional sign of the disease may be purulent plaque on the tonsils (with purulent tonsillitis), which looks like a mesh pattern or like white spots. The disease can manifest itself against the background of a runny nose (a symptom of a bacterial sore throat) or conjunctivitis (a sign of a viral form). In the absence of treatment or self-medication, the disease can develop into chronic tonsillitis, which manifests itself:

Periodic mild malaise and loss of appetite.
Bad breath. The smell is caused by tonsillitis plugs - purulent accumulations in the lacunae of the tonsils.
A slight increase in temperature (no more than 37.5ºС).

Forms of sore throat

The angina disease itself has 4 types:

• necrotic – a yellowish-greenish plaque appears, after its removal the soft tissues begin to bleed;
• purulent – a plaque forms that does not damage the internal walls;
• herpetic – pimples appear on the surface containing liquid inside;
• punitive – minor pain in the throat, without plaque formation.

Purulent tonsillitis is divided into two forms. The first is follicular, in which the tonsils are damaged, as purulent blisters appear on them, and they also appear on the walls of the tonsils. The second form of purulent tonsillitis is lacunar, which is characterized by the accumulation of purulent substance in tissue lacunae.

Depending on the severity of the disease, angina can be unilateral or bilateral. The photo shows purulent tonsillitis in an adult patient.

The symptoms of purulent tonsillitis vary according to the severity of the disease. A distinctive feature of the disease in adults is the fact that high body temperature is not always present. Then the infection is determined by pain in the throat and changes in the tonsils. Redness, blisters, plaque, and swelling appear on their surface.

Ways of transmission of sore throat from person to person

There are several ways in which angina is transmitted from a sick person to a healthy one:

Airborne. This method of infection is considered the most common. The pathogen is transmitted during a kiss or communication between people, in which the distance between the interlocutors is less than 0.5 m. Infection occurs when coughing or sneezing. You can become infected by airborne droplets in public places: shops, offices, schools, kindergartens, etc.
Nutritional. The pathogen enters the human body through contaminated products that have not been subjected to heat treatment. Dairy products, fruits, vegetables, and meat dishes pose a danger. To avoid contracting tonsillitis, you should wash and thoroughly process foods before eating, and also avoid visiting dubious food establishments.
Contact and household. The transmission of fungi, viruses and bacteria occurs through the use of household items shared with a sick person - dishes, clothes, etc.
Autoinfection. Infection by this method is observed when the pathogen is present in the human body for a long time, for example, with chronic sinusitis or diseases of the oral cavity. Activation of the pathogen occurs when the immune system is weakened.

How to get sick to get or go to the hospital

The easiest and safest way to go to the hospital is to give yourself severe diarrhea (diarrhea). Diarrhea is a symptom of many serious infectious diseases. But remember - diarrhea must be really strong, causeless and frequent. You have to tell everyone that you didn’t eat anything unusual, that the portion size was also normal, but now, out of the blue, you started having severe and frequent diarrhea.

At the same time, do not forget to drink a lot of liquid. Otherwise, you will cause dehydration and cause serious injury to yourself. If your parents send you to school despite severe diarrhea, do not be afraid. It's even easier to fake diarrhea there. Ask the teacher to go to the toilet several times in a row. Complain about severe discomfort - you feel nauseous, your stomach hurts, you constantly want to go to the toilet. The teacher or school doctor will not want to take responsibility and will send you home or call an ambulance and send you to the hospital.

Eat plenty of fiber-rich foods - fruits, vegetables, greens
Eat a lot of citrus fruits - tangerines, oranges, grapefruits
Eat a lot of prunes
Drink oil - olive, sunflower or flaxseed
Drink or eat as many fermented milk products as possible - yoghurts, kefir, fermented baked milk
Take a laxative, but don't overdo it

Transmission routes depending on type

The way the disease spreads depends on its type. In most cases, the disease is transmitted by airborne droplets.

Bacterial sore throat

The bacterial type is the most common. The modes of transmission of sore throat are airborne and household contact. The nutritional route of infection is also possible.

Bacteria that enter the body often provoke purulent tonsillitis (phlegmonous, lacunar, etc.).

A person infected with bacterial tonsillitis is dangerous for others for 14 days. When taking antibiotics, the patient ceases to pose a risk of infection after 1-2 days. Young patients are recommended to treat bacterial tonsillitis in a hospital setting.

Viral sore throat

Transmission of infection in viral tonsillitis is carried out by airborne droplets. In most cases, infection occurs during the cold season. Pathogens may not be dangerous to all people. If the disease is caused by mononucleosis, a person who has immunity to it will not become infected.

When viruses enter the body, the patient often develops catarrhal tonsillitis, a mild form of the disease. With a strong immune system, the body is able to cope with the disease on its own within a few days. The greatest danger is represented by herpetic sore throat caused by the herpes virus. Treatment for herpetic sore throat is mandatory; the patient himself must be isolated.

Fungal tonsillitis

The Candida fungi that cause the disease are transmitted through household contact and airborne droplets.

This type of sore throat develops through autoinfection (against the background of dysbacteriosis or a weakened immune system). People who suffer from chronic throat infections and uncontrollably take corticosteroids or antibiotics are susceptible to fungal sore throats.

How can you get a sore throat?

Since sore throat is an infectious disease, it can only be obtained through direct contact with the pathogen. So, if one of your friends or relatives has a sore throat, then you just need to stay near them for some time. Usually talking at close range or hugging is enough, but to be sure, you can use the dishes from which they ate or drank. If your relative is sick, be near him while he coughs.

Sore throat is transmitted by airborne droplets, so you can try kissing a sick person.

As for the time that needs to be spent next to the patient, the rule applies here: the longer, the better. Because if you have a strong immune system, one contact may not be enough. The body itself will kill bacteria that get on the mucous membranes. Therefore, to be sure to catch an infection, make several visits to the “source of the disease.”

ENT specialist Mikhail Kovalev will tell you in a video how hypothermia affects the formation of sore throat

How you can get a sore throat at home: a couple more tips

hypothermia of the body will weaken immune barriers. Therefore, try to appear on the street without a hat and scarf, and generally dress as coolly as possible;
you can take a cold shower;

Or just soak your feet in cold water

local effect on the throat. To do this you need to drink a lot of ice water. Not just cold, but icy. This way, the throat will quickly become inflamed, and any infection will not be slow to settle on the tonsils. For the same purpose, you can suck on a piece of ice;

Or eat several ice creams in a row

You can get a good sweat and go out onto the balcony or outside. To do this, you need to perform intense physical exercise or take a hot bath;
If the disease must be caused in the summer, then do not neglect air conditioners. Try to be exposed to cold air flow more often;
wet feet are likely to contribute to the development of the disease. If it is not possible to ensure wet feet in natural conditions (your shoes are very high-quality), then you can walk around at home in socks soaked in cold water.

Those who are especially brave can even wrap themselves in a wet, cold sheet or towel.
“Particularly lucky” are those who already have a history of a chronic form of sore throat, other problems with the tonsils of an inflammatory nature, or are already experiencing cold symptoms. And those whose immunity is weakened due to other diseases or vitamin deficiency can also easily develop a sore throat. If you are not one of those “lucky” people, then first take the above measures to weaken your immune system, and then boldly look for the source of the infection.

Incubation period

The incubation period of the disease depends on the patient’s immunity status, past illnesses, lifestyle and some other factors.
The causative agent of tonsillitis can also affect the duration of this period. The duration of the incubation period depending on the pathogen

Pathogen	Length of incubation period in days
Mononucleosis	from 30 to 50
Herpes virus	from 1 to 12
Streptococcus	from 2 to 5
Influenza virus	from 1 to 3

What not to fear

At what stage of the disease is sore throat most contagious, and when can you, without any fear for your health, communicate with a patient with a purulent form of sore throat? This is an important question.

A sick person is infected throughout the entire period of illness, that is, while he experiences symptoms of the pathology.

On average, this lasts from 7 to 10 days, sometimes if the treatment was prescribed incorrectly or the patient ignores the doctor’s instructions, the period can last longer.

Sometimes, even after recovery, the risk of transmitting the infection to another person remains for several days.

The picture is slightly different when treated with antibiotics: as soon as the drug completely destroys the infectious agent, the person ceases to be dangerous to others. How many days a purulent sore throat is contagious while taking antibacterial drugs depends on the specific drug.

Most modern antibiotics cope with their task in 1-2 days, and a person can feel this by alleviating the symptoms of the disease.

If you feel unwell and the temperature remains high, it means that the drug was chosen incorrectly and the prescription should be adjusted. With a properly prescribed antibiotic, a person will no longer be infectious approximately 48 hours after starting treatment.

Treatment with medications

Treatment with medications can also be carried out at home. However, you should not take medications on your own.

The drug is selected taking into account the causative agent of the disease. The doctor must also determine the exact dosage of the medicine.

To treat tonsillitis, medications such as:

Phenoxymethylpenicillin. The drug is used to treat streptococcal tonsillitis. Phenoxymethylpenicillin has virtually no negative effect on the natural microflora of the human body. The drug has a narrow spectrum of action. The advantages of the drug include its low price.
Streptocide. An antimicrobial drug is more often used to treat purulent tonsillitis. Streptocide is produced in the form of ointment and powder. The drug has a low cost.
Ceftriaxone. The drug has a wide spectrum of action. A small dose of the medicine can be taken if the patient for some reason cannot see a doctor in the near future. However, you should visit a specialist at the first opportunity. Long-term and uncontrolled use of Ceftriaxone leads to disturbances in the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract.
Ibuprofen. A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug is used to reduce body temperature and relieve pain.
Furacilin. Furacilin solution is used to gargle. Local treatment with this remedy is necessary for allergic reactions to antibiotics.

To enhance the effectiveness of medications, the patient is recommended to adhere to bed or semi-bed rest for the first 3-4 days after the onset of angina symptoms. The patient must stop smoking and take at least 2 liters of fluid per day.

How to get sick and not go to school

Symptoms of an illness are mainly signs of how the immune system is fighting infection. Typically, immunity is activated only 3-4 days after the infection enters the body. Therefore, if you want to get sick quickly at home, you are better off faking the illness. And if you want to understand Chinese goods, read Pokupar, there is everything about Aliexpress in Russian.

Start simulating as early as possible. The longer you pretend, the sooner your parents will believe you.
Only fake symptoms that you know. Have you been sick before? Have any of your relatives been sick recently? Just fake these symptoms
The first sign of a fever or cold is pink cheeks. Slap your palms on your cheeks or rub them
You should look tired, sad
Stop doing what you love. This is a must! For example, if you refuse to play on the computer, your parents will immediately think that you are sick
Avoid meeting friends or going out
Avoid TV or computer games
Lie down, show that you are very tired
Start doing your homework, but don't finish it. This will show that you really, really want to study, but you can’t because of your illness.
Go to bed earlier than usual. This will greatly alarm parents and they will begin to worry.
It will be best if you fall asleep dressed on the bed or right at the table
Wake up in the middle of the night. Wake up your parents and tell them you don't feel well. Your stomach and head hurt.
Pull your lower eyelid firmly down and hold it in this position until tears appear in your eyes.
Don't forget to rub your face, especially your cheeks, to keep them red
You can fake a cough, but it's dangerous. If you are faking a cough, you need to do it very, very regularly, but not too much
Don't stay up until the morning anymore. Then in the morning you will look sick - bags under the eyes, headache, sleepy, watery eyes
Don't ask your parents to leave you at home until the last minute! Try to lead them to this idea. You need your parents to invite you to stay at home.

No known disease manifests itself so quickly, in five minutes. Therefore, it is better to feign injury rather than illness. Then your mother will be more likely to believe you and leave you at home and not let you go to school. There are two types of injuries that are easier and simpler to simulate:

Ankle sprain
Head injury

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytpressen-GB

To fake a sprained ankle:

Make sure your parents can't see you.
Simulate a fall. Remember - your leg twisted, your foot went up and your lateral ligaments were stretched. Be sure to scream and fall to the floor.
Remember - your ankle now hurts a lot. You can't stand on it and you can't walk at all.
Every step you take should feel painful.
Show your tears. Just pull the lower eyelid down strongly and hold it in this position - tears will appear.
A mild sprain has no visual signs at all and the leg appears healthy. Moderate stretching is accompanied by redness. And only in severe cases does the leg swell. There is no need to feign a severe degree - it is treated by an orthopedic doctor. And the doctor will immediately determine that you are faking it.
You may want to constantly rub your ankle until it becomes red. But just do it so that mom doesn’t see. After all, with a real sprain, the leg hurts very much, it is impossible to touch it.
Be sure to limp very hard and do not step on the “injured leg.”
Each movement should be accompanied by a slight groan, sob or other manifestation of pain.
Show that you're really hurting by giving up some of your favorite things. For example, lie on the bed rather than sit at the computer. This will be the strongest argument for parents.

To simulate a headbutt you need to:

Make sure your parents can't see you
Pretend you fell or hit your head on the door
Fall or squat on the floor
cry
You now constantly feel dizzy and have a headache
Don't forget exactly where you "hit"
Pretend vomiting or nausea
Refuse food
Lie down and do nothing. No computer or friends, otherwise my parents will understand everything
Don't be afraid if you are taken to a doctor. Keep saying the same thing over and over again - you feel sore and dizzy, you feel nauseous and really want to lie down. Most likely, the doctor will tell you that you have a mild concussion and that you need to lie in bed for a couple of days.

The easiest way is to stay awake all night until the morning. Then you will look like a clearly sick and sleepy person and you won’t have to pretend anything. Even if your parents send you to school, immediately complain to the teacher that you are feeling unwell and ask to see a doctor/nurse. When the doctor looks at you, he will see strange symptoms and send you home. The doctor or nurse simply will not want to take responsibility.

Folk recipes

Alternative medicine methods can be used as prophylaxis or as an addition to medications throughout the entire treatment period. It is impossible to refuse antibiotics that can effectively destroy pathogenic microflora. The following will help cure tonsillitis at home:

Propolis. After each meal, the patient should chew a small piece of this substance for 15-20 minutes. Propolis must be of high quality, which is indicated by numbness and burning of the tongue when chewing the product. Tinctures with this substance can be used to gargle 3-5 times a day. Add 1/2 tsp to a glass of boiled water. tinctures and 2-3 tsp. herbal decoction to increase the effectiveness of the drug.
Soda. Rinsing with a soda solution is effective in the initial stages of the disease. The procedure relieves pain, has a calming effect on a sore throat, and washes away accumulated mucus. To prepare the solution, dissolve 1 tsp in 1 glass of warm boiled water. soda To achieve best results, the procedure should be repeated every 2-3 hours.
Garlic. It is necessary to chop 1 clove of garlic until a paste forms and add 1 tbsp to it. l. apple cider vinegar. The ingredients are mixed and left in the refrigerator for 10 hours. Then add 1 tbsp to the mixture. l. honey The medicine is taken up to 4 times a day, 20-30 minutes after meals, 1 tsp. The mixture is swallowed only after keeping it in the mouth for several minutes.

It is advisable to take the drug before bedtime or when the patient does not plan to leave the house.

How to quickly get a sore throat at home?

Everyone’s responsibility is to take care of their health. But sometimes you just want to stay at home in a warm bed. Many people ask about how to get a sore throat at home, so as not to go to school or some uninteresting event.

Teenagers often discuss on the Internet how they can get a sore throat or quickly raise their body temperature. Among these recommendations there are very effective ones, but in most cases children receive a serious blow to the immune system, and this leads to the development of dangerous diseases. Actions such as eating ice, drinking dirty tap water, going out in winter without outerwear, keeping your feet in cold water will lead to frostbite, and in some cases to cystitis and prostatitis. It should be understood that sore throat is an infectious disease, and you can only get it through contact with a sick person.

In order to catch a cold, you will have to cause serious damage to the immune system so that the cells cannot fight the virus that has entered the body. There are several options for weakening the immune system:

cold wrap - wet the sheet with water, lie down in bed and open the window;
use air conditioning, because the likelihood of picking up bacteria under air waves doubles;
perform physical exercises until exhaustion, and at the “peak” moment take cold water;
put on wet socks and walk on the balcony in them, but with the condition that the temperature outside is sub-zero.

Such methods will interfere with the proper functioning of the immune system and “prepare” it for a viral attack. In order for the infection to go exclusively to the throat, it is necessary to resort to local methods. Treatment should begin immediately after the first signs of illness.

How to get a sore throat at home using improvised means? As soon as the body is weakened, you can proceed to the second part. As a rule, in a weakened state, streptococcus lives in any oral cavity; all that remains is to “give a signal” and release it into the wild. In this case, ice and cold water will serve as an excellent assistant; they will create a favorable environment for the development and reproduction of the virus.

Ice water. Sometimes it is enough to get a sore throat if you drink cold water from the refrigerator, or even better, put ice cubes in it. The likelihood of contracting acute tonsillitis increases if you eat Rondo mint candy in cool water.

Ice. In an attempt to quickly catch a cold, the most desperate people apply ice to their throat. For many, this procedure instantly causes an unpleasant burning sensation in the throat, which can easily develop into tonsillitis.

Ice cream. This is one of the most pleasant and delicious ways to get a sore throat. It is worth considering that one portion of a sweet delicacy is not enough here. It would take at least 3 servings of ice cream to get a cold. Many children add icicles or ice to the product to speed up the disease process.

In addition, when resorting to all sorts of ways to catch a sore throat, a person must understand what consequences can await him. This includes pneumonia, herpes, sinusitis and even oral thrush. The sick person will not be able to immediately return to a normal state, because a special course of treatment will be required, aimed at destroying microbes.

As a child, every schoolchild had the idea that they could stay at home for a couple of days, artificially causing some kind of illness. Here the idea of how to get a sore throat immediately worked. A well-known method from TV shows was the method of eating huge amounts of ice cream. But this method is not the only one. The doctor only needs symptoms to issue the coveted certificate. Then special treatment for the patient is guaranteed: fruits, juices, goodies from mom and other privileges.

Knowing how you can get a sore throat, you get rid of tedious homework. It becomes possible to do things that a healthy person can only dream of. There is breakfast, lunch and dinner in bed. You are allowed to lie in bed until lunch; adults try to fulfill most of their wishes. Sweet syrup, milk with honey, tea with dried fruits - this is not a complete list of goodies.

A patient with a sore throat receives a portion of caring attention that has not been seen for a long time. A huge number of guests try to visit such a person. They bring sweets, bananas, apples, everyone smiles and wishes you recovery. Friends begin to envy the sudden vacation, and teachers make concessions after returning from sick leave.

What could be better than relaxing on a Sunday morning during the week? Moms or dads often take sick leave, spending the entire period of treatment with their children. And recovery ends with a trip to the circus, cinema, or choosing another equally interesting institution. However, no one likes sore throat simulators; if the deception is revealed, punishment is inevitable. Reproachful reproach will be a real test, so strong evidence of illness is needed.

To get a sore throat, it would be nice to have an already sick friend or classmate. After drinking one glass of water afterward, you immediately get symptoms of malaise. The route of transmission of infection occurs through sputum. Often schoolchildren convey it through attempts to sneeze in the opponent’s face.

However, such a measure is becoming insufficient. You need to get a decrease in immunity, in which bacteria will begin to multiply and a sore throat will form. This means that you need to take each point of health restoration and turn its content to the detriment of the body:

While it is beneficial to warm your feet in hot water, a sore throat will be caused by hypothermia of the limbs.
Vitamins and fruits are used for immunity. We use a huge amount of sweets and fatty foods. Let's give up syrup and choose soda and chips instead.
Parents and doctors recommend dressing in winter and cold autumn. It would be nice to undress and run barefoot in the snow, douse yourself with water on the street. You can make snowballs with your bare hands and breathe with all your might, taking in the cold air.
Also, a sore throat is guaranteed after a cold bath for half an hour.
Lying under the cold air of a split system is a sure way to not only get a sore throat, but also get pneumonia.
There is a known way to cause redness in the throat - add drops of iodine to a spoonful of sugar. Then a runny nose in combination with a coating of the larynx will serve as a means of obtaining a certificate, even if doctors cannot determine the elevated body temperature.
Running a kilometer will result in a profusely sweaty T-shirt. There is no need to take it off, just walk around like this for an hour, and the next morning you will be sick. It is recommended to drink cold water immediately after the finish.

You can quickly get a sore throat while swimming in a cold river or pond at an air temperature below 10 degrees. You shouldn’t take off your clothes, it’s better to plunge headlong and slowly walk home. The walk should be at least 10 minutes.

Cold milk always causes a sore throat and subsequently redness of the throat. Straight from the refrigerator, drink another glass and go out into the cold balcony in only flip-flops. There is a sure way to become infected with bacteria, but it is not often that you have such a “good” friend who also has a sore throat. You can conduct experiments together and when one already catches the disease, try to get your portion of bacteria from him.

You can suck on icicles in winter and early spring. Or take ice cubes out of the freezer at home. In this case, it is better not to eat; fasting undermines the immune system, which causes a sore throat. He will not keep himself waiting long and will respond with the necessary symptoms. Quit activities such as brushing your teeth in the mornings and evenings, drinking warm drinks, and avoiding nutrients.

It would be good not to sleep for a day or more in order to weaken yourself completely, causing a sore throat. There is no need to treat a runny nose. Put on wet socks and go outside without a hat, or you can sit at the computer all night, positioned exactly opposite the open window.

It’s much easier for the older generation; they can instantly get throat irritation from tobacco smoke or choose cold alcohol. Beer can cause a sore throat if you drink it slowly over an hour. Take small sips, the drink should contain ice.

In severe cases, tonsillitis can cause hellish pain. A lump in the throat prevents a successful coincidence from having fun, and a high temperature is even worse. The person feels sick, vomits every now and then, cough and runny nose do not allow him to sleep. All of the above unpleasant conditions nullify all efforts.

It’s better to use a common cold as a reference, then you can get rid of the symptoms in one day. It’s true that sick leave won’t be that long. If someone with a sore throat sometimes sits for more than 10 days, then with an acute respiratory viral infection they are discharged after three days.

All of the listed ways to get a sore throat at home become an effective way to avoid studying, work and other responsibilities. But at the same time, you can get a dangerous condition that will end in long-term illness or hospitalization. Some people even managed to die. Before you carry out your plans, you need to thoroughly weigh whether a few days of rest and future torment in a wheelchair are worth it.

Let's look at how you can get a sore throat according to teenagers. There is a lot of advice here. Young people begin to advise each other to enjoy ice cream and swallow ice water. This could include tips like soaking your socks in cold water, then keeping them in the snow, and then walking around in them, repeating this procedure every 30 minutes. Or you can run out onto the balcony of an apartment or into the courtyard of a private house in winter at sub-zero temperatures in wet summer clothes. There is also an option for getting a sore throat: take ice from the freezer, put it in a mug filled about 1/7 with water at room temperature, and then drink the contents of the mug in one gulp, without waiting for the ice to melt.

How to get a sore throat?

In order for a person to get a sore throat, a microbe that causes an infection must first enter his body. Streptococcus is one of these microbes that most often causes a sore throat. It can get into the throat of a healthy person from his sick interlocutor during their direct contact if he suddenly sneezes or coughs. Also, this microbe can easily enter the body through a shared towel or underwear with a sick person, or through poorly washed dishes from which an infected person ate. Products that are poorly washed or not washed at all are also no exception.

So how can you actually get a sore throat without having contact with a sick person? In fact, this is really possible when the source of this disease lives inside your body. Foci of past infection tend to remain in the human body, and any bacteria, as a rule, leave behind their favorite place. In such cases, inflammation of the tonsils and, of course, sore throat may appear. Such internal causes are considered to be sore gums or caries, chronic runny nose. And a decrease in immunity or hypothermia in the ways that have already been mentioned above, in turn, are just predisposing factors due to which the body’s ability to fight the causative agent of the disease is reduced.

How to quickly get a sore throat?

Now let's figure out why in hot weather, after you have drunk various soft drinks or sat in the office right in front of the air conditioner, your throat first begins to hurt while swallowing, and after this other signs of a sore throat appear. The fact is that in the throat of every person there live certain bacteria, which the body under normal conditions copes with quite successfully and does not allow them to cause illness. But the immune system begins to weaken due to the difference between the high temperature outside and the temperature from the air conditioner operating indoors, as well as the sharp cooling of the throat with the same soft drinks. All this helps to create favorable conditions in the human body for the appearance of sore throat. That is, in fact, immunity (local and general) decreases and microbes “take up arms.” Hence the conclusion that the likelihood of getting a sore throat increases significantly if you drink ice-cold drinks.

You can come up with or find on the Internet many more tips on how to get a sore throat. But where the belief came from that it is so easy to get a sore throat using the above tips is still absolutely unclear. Besides, all this advice seems nothing more than pure absurdity. After all, by using them, you can get diseases much more serious and dangerous than sore throat. For example, the consequences of cold feet are prostatitis or cystitis, and the consequences of drinking ice water or going outside wet can easily affect you after a few months in the form of complications of the disease. After all, a sore throat is not a joke, but a rather serious disease, fraught with unpleasant consequences. In general, if you want to know how to get a sore throat, think carefully about whether such a game is worth the candle.

If it’s summer outside, you can walk around under the scorching sun for several hours. In this case, you need to wear a warm sweater or shawl on your body so that your body can sweat a lot. Then go into an apartment or room where the air conditioning is turned on strongly. Stand for twenty minutes under a stream of cold air. The next morning the patient will wake up with a sore throat.
Apply strong physical activity.
The body needs to be given a lot of stress, so that it not only sweats a lot, but also gets tired. After a thirty-minute workout, you need to drink two glasses of cold water. In such a situation, the heated body simply will not be able to withstand the stress and will weaken.

How can you get a sore throat using local methods? There are techniques that lead to the activation of a bacterial infection in the form of streptococcus. It is generally accepted that the pathogen is in the body of every person, only in a sleeping state. When favorable conditions are created, bacteria begin their active activity.

To get a sore throat, it is enough to use ice-cold liquid. For this method to be effective, you need to add a few pieces of ice to your drinking mug. To increase your chance of catching a cold, take a mint candy with cold water.

Ice can be used instead of cool liquid. It can be dissolved in large quantities or swallowed in pieces. It is also recommended to apply ice to the neck area. If the patient is already an adult, then you should drink cold beer. In the summer heat, this drink has the same effect as water.

Instead of all the above methods, you can simply eat a lot of ice cream. It is worth noting that this problem cannot be solved with one treat. You need to consume at least four servings of ice cream.

Before getting tonsillitis, the patient needs to assess the state of his immune system. If everything is in order with your immunity, then it will be quite difficult to catch a cold. One method may not work. Therefore, if the patient specifically sets the task of getting a sore throat, then you need to resort to several methods at once.

It is also worth considering the time of year. It is generally accepted that in cold months the chances of getting sick increase significantly. Often in the summer, people suffer from sore throat. The reason for this is the abuse of ice cream and the flow of cold air coming from the air conditioner.

It will be difficult for a sick person to quickly get rid of a sore throat, especially if it is bacterial in nature. At the same time, it is not the disease itself that is dangerous, but the complications that it brings with it.

As you know, tonsillitis affects the development of internal organs. Often, after a sore throat, people suffer from heart and kidney diseases. The composition of the blood is also disrupted, which leads to a severe weakening of immune function and slow reproduction of antibodies.

If the patient has never had a sore throat, then when using such methods, it can become chronic. Any hypothermia will lead to the activation of a bacterial infection.

If a sore throat is catarrhal in nature, then it can be cured in three days if measures are taken in a timely manner. But in most cases, it instantly becomes purulent and lasts at least five days. Then the treatment process necessarily includes the use of antibiotics, which also negatively affect the digestive system.

Experts say that sore throat is a fairly contagious disease. But only if the person has close contact with the patient, lives with him in the same apartment and uses things.

In other cases, you won’t be able to get a sore throat so quickly. The minimum incubation period is ten to fifteen minutes, but such a process is observed extremely rarely. On average, this period ranges from two to five days.

Even if the patient has chronic tonsillitis, it takes at least three to four days for the disease to develop.

You can get sick instantly only if a person’s immune system is very weakened. But it’s better not to expose yourself to a sore throat. If a person wants to get sick and take sick leave for several days, then it is better to get rhinitis. This disease rarely causes complications, and you will be able to stay at home for five days.

It is worth noting that the main symptoms include an increase in temperature to forty degrees, severe pain in the throat, soreness, and loss of voice. To completely eliminate symptoms, it is enough to stay at home for up to five days. In this case, you will have to take antibiotics and carry out procedures every hour. It is also impossible not to treat a sore throat, since it is dangerous due to complications and because of this, the patient is often admitted to the hospital.

It is also worth noting that the above methods can not only lead to sore throat, but also more severe diseases in the form of sinusitis, pneumonia, bronchitis and meningitis. It is much more difficult to treat them, and besides, the patient will have to rest at home for at least two weeks.

You should not put yourself and your health in danger. Before you decide to get sick, you need to think about what consequences await the person.

Who should take special care of themselves?

The cause of the disease is an infection that enters the human body. But every day we are faced with a colossal number of different infections, but our immune system is able to effectively fight them, preventing a deterioration in our well-being.

But if the immune system is impaired, a person should be more careful, avoiding sources of potential infection.

The decrease in the body's defenses leads to:

frequent infections;
immunodeficiencies;
presence of chronic diseases;
stress;
nasal congestion (polyps, deviated nasal septum);
taking immunosuppressants;
recently completed antibiotic use.

Thus, purulent sore throat is transmitted faster and easier to those people whose health condition cannot be called good.

Even chronic tonsillitis, which is in remission, places a significant burden on the immune system, and if a person does not avoid people who can infect him with a bacterial infection, relapse of tonsillitis will recur several times a year, which will entail the need for tonsillectomy.

Otherwise, constant stress on the immune system will lead to dangerous consequences in the form of complications.
