👉 Panton’s disease is a bacterial infection caused by Staphylococcus aureus, which is also known as "Strep" or "Staph". It primarily affects children and young adults but can be spread among people of all ages. The symptoms include fever, chills, pain in the throat, cough, and soreness in the nose and mouth. If left untreated, it can progress to pneumonia, which is a more serious infection that requires medical attention.
