Most sore throats are caused by two types of viral and bacterial infections. Approximately 80% of sore throats are caused by viruses and only about 10-20% caused by bacteria. To be able to handle it, it is important to know that experienced infections caused by viruses or bacteria streptococcus.

Viral infection is usually the cause of colds (colds) and influenza which later resulted in the occurrence of strep throat. Colds usually resolves itself around a minnu so your body forms antibodies against the virus.

Treatment with antibiotics is not effective for treating viral infections. In contrast, antibiotics can cause resistance or immunity of germs to antibiotics. When the bacteria have been resistant to these antibiotics, when the antibiotics we use, will no longer effective in killing germs. As a result, the illness will not recover.
