Question

What should be paid attention to when a child has pediatric herpangina?

Answer

Pediatric herpangina is a throat infection disease characterized by symptoms such as fever, sore throat, papules in the throat, and ulcerated sores. Treatment mainly includes antiviral medications and fever reducers, such as intravenous antiviral drugs and oral fever-reducing medications. It is not recommended to use anti-inflammatory drugs, and attention should be given to isolation and protection, keeping the child warm, avoiding catching a cold, and promptly replenishing fluids.
