"An Account of the Sore Throat Attended With Ulcers" by John Fothergill is a scientific publication written in the mid-18th century. This work primarily addresses a particular throat disease that emerged in London and its neighboring regions, differentiating it from common sore throats and outlining its excessive symptoms and treatment approaches. The book serves as an early medical examination of a serious condition, warning practitioners against misdiagnosis and outlining necessary treatment protocols. In this detailed account, Fothergill describes the disease's onset, which often begins with general malaise and escalates to severe throat pain, fever, and visible throat lesions. Symptoms can rapidly advance, particularly in children, leading to significant mortality rates if not properly diagnosed and treated. Fothergill emphasizes the importance of recognizing distinguishing features of the disease, such as specific patterns of redness and ulceration in the throat, and argues against traditional treatments like bleeding and purging, which could exacerbate the condition. This account not only sheds light on historical medical practices but also demonstrates the evolving understanding of disease management in the context of public health.
