Wu Changteng said that when these seven sick children sought medical treatment, they all had “high fevers that did not go away, and they still had the same high fevers and sore throats after taking medicine for several days.” He said that acute pharyngitis refers to inflammation of the oropharynx, which is the upper respiratory tract.

There may even be bleeding spots or suppuration. At this time, it should be highly suspected that it is caused by group A streptococcus infection.
