How should I handle it if my baby has had herpangina for six days?

Patient's question:

The baby is one year old, and the course of herphetic pharyngitis has lasted for six days. The first two days she had a fever, with a high temperature of 39.5°C. On the third day, the fever subsided. The doctor prescribed Cefixime and Kailejian. Now, her throat is still red.

Doctor's answer:

Herpangina is caused by a viral infection. You have already taken anti-inflammatory and antiviral medications, but the mucous membrane in your throat is still red. If you don't have a fever or a sore throat, drink more hot water and fruit juices, and avoid spicy foods. It will improve in a few days.
