Patient's question:
The child has only been born for a few days, and recently, for some unknown reason, they have been scratching their ears. How is herpangina in children caused?Doctor's answer:
Herpangina in children is caused by Coxsackie A virus and is most common in summer and autumn. It is a common viral pharyngitis. It often follows acute rhinitis, pneumonia, influenza, malaria, or meningitis, but can also occur independently. In addition to the throat, blisters can also appear on the oral mucosa. Ear, nose, and throat diseases in children pose significant harm to patients. It is recommended that patients seek timely treatment from a specialized clinic and follow the doctor's guidance for treatment. Drinking more water and paying attention to dietary issues can be beneficial in daily life. We hope the child can recover quickly!
