Purulent pharyngitis in children is a disease that if not treated promptly and properly will cause complications such as throat abscess, inflammation around the throat and physical weakness, affecting the child's overall development later on.

Purulent pharyngitis is a serious respiratory disease in children. Children with purulent pharyngitis after treatment often have a very high risk of recurrence. If it recurs many times, children are susceptible to more serious problems such as chronic pharyngitis or many complications of the ear, nose and throat.
