Test for angina - how to recognize bacterial angina?

In over-the-counter pharmacies, rapid tests for angina are available for self-execution at home, which detect group A streptococcus (Streptococcus pyogenes) in a throat swab. This makes it possible to determine whether the infection is bacterial or viral. In the case of bacterial angina, you should see a doctor, as it may require antibiotic treatment.
