Doctor's answer:
Your baby's condition is considered to be herpangina. Herpangina is a common childhood illness, often caused by Coxsackie virus infection when the body's resistance decreases after exposure to cold. Symptoms include oral herpes, fever, and ulcers. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough examination, drink more water, and use oral ulcer powder externally to facilitate the healing of herpes. During this period, pay attention to keeping your baby warm, adjusting clothing according to weather changes to prevent your baby from catching a cold, and avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
