Sore throats are mostly caused by viruses, but strep throat is caused by bacteria called group A Streptococcus or simply group A strep. It is the primary cause of strep throat. Streptococcal bacteria are highly contagious. They can spread through air when someone with the infection coughs or sneezes.
Doctors generally treat strep throat with antibiotics. These medicines shorten the time for which you can spread the disease to others. This reduces the risk of spreading the infection to other parts of your body as the infection is contagious. Antibiotics help you feel better quickly.
Strep throat is a bacterial infection that can make your throat feel sore and irritating. Strep throat accounts for a small portion of all sore throats. Strep throat rash may appear as fine and rough-textured (such as of a sandpaper), and may contain multiple red lesions.
A lump or a swelling that is painful and develops suddenly may be caused by many reasons such as an injury or an infection. Sometimes, it is a hemorrhoid (piles).

Preventive measures to control malaria include different types of treatments and precautionary measures. Malaria is an acute infectious disease which is caused by Plasmodium falciparum and is spread by a vector mosquito known as female anopheles mosquito. Control of malaria is a complicated task as it needs to control all the three living beings involved i.e., man the host, plasmodium the agent, and mosquito the vector.
Malaria a serious and life-threatening disease. It is transmitted and spread in the humans through the bite of an infected female Anopheles mosquito, also known as “malaria vectors.” Malaria symptoms can mimic many other diseases, such as influenza or viral syndrome. Therefore it is important to inquire about recent travel history to an endemic area or other possible exposures.
