ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Sore throat is a common presentation in primary care. Accurate identification of cause is important for appropriate treatment. Clinical scoring systems and diagnostic tests are recommended to identify group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus, which warrants guideline-driven therapy. The article explores causes, diagnosis, management, and possible complications of pharyngitis.
