How to treat herpangina in children

Patient's question:

The child had herpes pharyngitis a few weeks ago, and at that time, there were four or five on the neck. After the pharyngitis healed, there were still seven or eight red dots on the neck. Last night, after the child ate shrimp, there were so many more, as shown in the picture. The red dots are itchy. What could be the reason? Is there anything to apply or any medicine to take?

Doctor's answer:

Dear consultant,
Depending on the situation, it may still be an allergy or a viral infection. You can apply acyclovir ointment. At the same time, take acyclovir tablets and loratadine tablets orally. During this period, you should eat less meat, fish, seafood, and the like. Also, pay attention to avoiding catching a cold and taking preventive measures against colds.
The above is the advice for the question "A child had herpes stomatitis a few days ago." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
