Herpetic angina

Due to environmental pollution, the incidence of herpangina is increasing day by day, and it has to attract people's high attention. The symptoms of herpangina are persistent fever, which is more common in children aged 1-7 years old. It is mainly caused by insufficient respiratory barrier function and tender mucosa. Herpangina must be taken seriously, and early detection and early treatment must be carried out to prevent patients from suffering from the disease.

The method of treating herpetic pharyngitis is symptomatic treatment, keeping the oral cavity clean and hygienic to prevent bacteria from invading.

You can gargle with light salt water. If you have fever symptoms, you should use medication for treatment. If the condition is serious, you must go to the hospital to avoid causing other diseases.

The main manifestation of the disease is sudden fever, which may be persistent or recurrent. Older children often complain of sore throat, especially when swallowing, and sometimes headache, abdominal pain or myalgia; infants and young children show symptoms of irritability, refusal to eat, drooling, vomiting, etc. Most children do not have symptoms such as coughing and runny nose.

Some children may experience submandibular lymph node enlargement or tenderness, and routine blood examinations mostly show normal or slightly low blood cell counts. Vomiting and convulsions often occur in infants. Within 2 days of onset, a small number (rarely more than 12) of small (1-2 mm in diameter) gray-white blisters surrounded by a red halo appear on the oral mucosa. They are mostly seen in the front part of the tonsils, but can also be located on the soft palate, tonsils, uvula, tongue, etc. Within the next 24 hours, the blisters rupture and become shallow ulcers, which are generally less than 5 mm in diameter and heal within 1-5 days.

Laboratory examination shows an increased white blood cell count. The pathogenic virus can be obtained by taking pharyngeal blister fluid or stool and culturing it or inoculating it into suckling mice. At the same time, acute and convalescent serum can be taken for special neutralizing antibody, complement fixation or hemagglutination inhibition tests to help confirm the diagnosis.
