00:00 So in a nutshell, remember: pharyngitis is a subjective symptom. 00:05 This is a sore throat, this is what your patient feels. 00:08 Tonsilitis - this is an objective finding. 00:10 This is what you see when you look inside the throat. 00:13 Strep throat is a bacterial infection so it should be treated with antibiotics to prevent complications. 00:20 Rheumatic fever can affect multiple body systems and this is a common complication of strep throat. 00:26 Glomerulonephritis is not prevented by antibiotic treatment. 00:31 And abscesses that form in the throat are usually drained for management. 00:35 Thank you for watching this content on common throat infections.
