Question
The baby has been diagnosed with herpangina, and the doctor recommended intravenous treatment for the first four days, followed by oral medication. However, after ten days, the symptoms have not completely recovered, and the parents are worried whether they need to change the medication or adopt other treatment methods.
Answer
The baby’s herpangina has not healed after ten days, which may be due to a severe viral infection or secondary bacterial infection. It is suggested to conduct a detailed blood test to determine the condition. If the viral infection is still severe, oral acyclovir or ganciclovir can be used. As long as the baby’s mental state is good, there is no need for forced intravenous infusion; oral medication is also effective.
