Question
What should I do if there are white blisters on the tongue after a fever subsides?
Answer
The child may have herpangina, a common pediatric disease usually caused by the infection of Coxsackievirus when the body’s resistance drops after catching a cold. Symptoms include oral sores, fever, and ulcers. It is recommended to seek medical attention for a detailed examination, drink plenty of water, and use an oral ulcer spray to promote the disappearance of the blisters. At the same time, pay attention to keeping warm, adjust clothing according to weather changes, and avoid letting the child catch a cold or eat spicy and irritating foods.
