When dealing with angína, zánět krku způsobený buď viry nebo bakteriemi, nejčastěji streptokoky. Also known as zánět mandlí, it is one of the most common reasons parents bring their children to the pediatrician. Not every sore throat needs antibiotics—many are just viral and will go away on their own. The problem is, it’s hard to tell the difference just by looking. A red throat, fever, and swollen tonsils sound like angína, but they could also be from a cold or even the flu.
That’s why streptokok v krku, bakterie, která způsobuje nejnebezpečnější formu angíny matters. If it’s streptokok, untreated infection can lead to complications like rheumatic fever or kidney problems. That’s why doctors often use a rapid test—simple swab from the throat—to confirm it before prescribing antibiotika pro angínu, léky, které účinně ničí bakterie, ale neovlivňují viry. Penicilin is still the first choice, but if your child is allergic, alternatives like azithromycin or cefalexin work just as well.
Most kids with viral angína feel better in 3–5 days with rest, fluids, and maybe paracetamol for fever. But if your child has white patches on tonsils, no cough, high fever over 38.5°C, and swollen neck glands—it’s likely bacterial. Don’t wait too long. Delayed treatment increases the risk of spreading the infection to others and raises the chance of complications.
And here’s something parents often miss: antibiotics don’t help with sore throats caused by viruses. Giving them anyway doesn’t speed up recovery—it just increases the risk of side effects like diarrhea or rashes, and contributes to antibiotic resistance. That’s why testing matters. A quick test can save you from unnecessary pills and help your child recover faster.
If your child has had angína before and it kept coming back, that’s another story. Recurrent angína might need closer monitoring. Some kids outgrow it, others need to see an ENT specialist. But for most, a single episode is just part of growing up—especially in daycare or school.
In this collection, you’ll find clear, no-nonsense answers about what angína really looks like, when to worry, how to manage symptoms at home, and what alternatives exist if your child can’t take penicillin. No myths. No scare tactics. Just what works—and what doesn’t—based on real cases and current medical guidance.
