    Herpangina is often more common in infants and young children, especially kindergarten children, because it is contagious and will be infected in groups. There are no indications for hospitalization for herpangina, but most hospitalizations occur because**.

    1. First of all, it must be that the baby's continuous high fever does not go away, and the parents are nervous and anxious, and they cannot feel at ease.

    2. Herpangina is mostly enterovirus, which is more prone to convulsions than other viruses, especially within 24 hours of sudden high fever.

    3. Whether it is herpangina or hand, foot and mouth disease, the guidelines point out that if the white blood cells are greater than 15,000, the vigilance becomes severe.

    4. Children who cannot eat because of the sore throat of the baby's pharyngeal isthmus, resulting in insufficient energy and water, accompanied by high fever and water and electrolyte disorders.

    5. Herpangina has relatively few complications compared with hand, foot and mouth disease, but if there is myocardial damage, abnormal liver function, encephalitis and other manifestations, hospitalization is required.

    Article**4: How parents can cope with herpangina.

    First of all, it is important to pay attention to hand hygiene, wash your hands frequently, because most of them are transmitted by hand, and if you are able to get vaccinated, you should get vaccinated against the EV71 virus before the summer as much as possible.

    What should I do if my child has herpangina?

    1. Pay attention to the child's body temperature, whether the high fever does not go away, more than 40 degrees Celsius. If high fever persists, ultra-high fever should be paid special attention, and at the same time, pay attention to the child's mental state, and seek medical attention in time if the mental state is poor.

    2. Did you have a convulsion within 24 hours? Seizures caused by fever often occur within 24 hours, and the child's general mental state after seizures is usually good, which is often simple febrile seizures. If 2-3 seizures occur, or occur after 24 hours, the virus may invade the brain.

    3. Pay attention to the child's mental state, even if the fever is high, the spirit is as usual, you can rest assured, if the body temperature is not high, the spirit is sleepy, you should also pay attention to it, and do not assess the severity of the condition by the body temperature.

    4. Pay attention to whether the child is accompanied by obvious vomiting symptoms, whether the face is gray, the temperature at the end of the limbs, the spotting, and the poor circulation of the fingers.

    5. Whether the child has limb weakness, or tremor, shortness of breath and other manifestations.

    Although herpangina is a self-limiting viral infection, it usually cures within a week and there are few complications, but we should not let our guard down, because a very small number of severe hand, foot and mouth disease is manifested by herpangina. Symptoms such as mental weakness, persistent high fever, high blood CRP, vomiting, mental status changes, and limb weakness must be seen in time. Doctors should do a good job of early identification and assessment so that critical illness is not missed.

    However, it is not possible to increase the dose of antipyretic drugs or use antipyretic drugs for children that should not be used because the high fever does not go away.

    Two days ago, the baby had a fever, and the body temperature rose rapidly above Celsius.

    Because summer is coming, I went to bed at night and turned on the air conditioner, and at first I just thought that the baby had a cold. So I went to the pharmacy and bought ibuprofen fever reducer, and after feeding ibuprofen, the body temperature was briefly maintained between (ear thermometer test temperature). The body temperature has not dropped back to about Celsius as before.

    After the effect of ibuprofen, the body temperature rose rapidly to 39 degrees Celsius, reaching a maximum of 40 degrees Celsius, accompanied by vomiting, and switching back and forth between listlessness and liveliness.

    After work, we quickly took the baby to the children's hospital, and the doctor looked at the throat during the daily examination, saying that there was a vesicle in the mucous membrane of the pharyngeal isthmus, which was suspected to be herpangina, and a blood test was needed to see if there was a viral infection accompanied by a bacterial infection.

    When we heard this term, we were instantly stunned, and then explained that the doctor said that it was a type of hand, foot and mouth disease. I was very nervous at the moment, because I had heard that this disease was very contagious.

    The final blood picture showed a typical viral infection with a fine white count of 140 units, accompanied by a bacterial infection.

    Then we did a three-day infusion**, using antibiotics, thermotoning and other drugs. Oral antiviral medication followed by a sore spray** after returning home. The whole course of the disease lasted 4 to 6 days, and it took three days for the fever to subside, and it was only after the fever subsided that our hearts really relaxed.

    After I came back, I looked up ** on the Internet, and it was said that it was an acute infectious pharyngitis characterized by acute fever and herpes ulcers in the isthmus mainly caused by enteroviruses. It is very contagious and spreads quickly, and summer and autumn are the high incidence seasons.

    In summary, children like to eat their hands, and may have been infected through saliva in contact with other children.

    Write it down to help new fathers and mothers to quickly identify abnormal situations and quickly go to the hospital for symptomatic treatment to prevent the aggravation of the condition.

    Summer is the season of this disease, and most of the fever we observed in young children is this disease, so children should wash their hands frequently, ensure nutrition, enhance resistance, and prevent infection.

    During the onset of the disease, the resistance is weak, so it is important to stay at home and ventilate.

    The so-called herpangina, the name is a little awkward, but it is actually an upper respiratory tract infection, but the type is a little special - the common pathogen is coxsackie group A virus. Summer is the peak incidence of herpangina in children, especially in babies under 5 years old. The cause of this is due to infection with the Coxsackie group A virus.

    Symptoms are mainly characterized by acute fever and herpetic ulcers in the pharyngeal isthmus.

    Of course, according to the individual differences of the baby and the different degree of infection, some babies will also have symptoms such as decreased appetite, sore throat, gray-white herpes in the mouth and throat. But for most babies with mild symptoms, this disease is good to recover, and there is no need for Bao Mom to worry too much.

    The disease is highly contagious and spreads quickly. The main route of transmission is the fecal-oral respiratory tract. Since this disease is a self-limiting disease, the course of the disease will generally improve in about a week, and for babies with severe symptoms, the course of the disease will be relatively longer.

    For babies with herpangina, it is necessary to observe the changes in body temperature at any time, and if the body temperature exceeds 39 or more, it is necessary to choose antipyretics according to the baby's condition. However, it should be noted that do not blindly give oral antibiotics to the baby, because it is ineffective, but it is easy to lead to the occurrence of bacterial disorders in the baby. When the baby has a continuous anti-** fever that does not go away, it is necessary to pay attention to prevent the occurrence of dehydration, and it is best to take the baby to the hospital for observation in time.

    For herpangina, prevention is the main priority. It is important for babies to develop good hygiene habits, such as washing hands frequently and paying attention to food hygiene. Increase physical activity, which can strengthen your own immunity.

    Another important thing is that during the high season, avoid taking your baby to crowded places, let alone contact babies with herpangina. Regular ventilation in the room, regular cleaning and disinfection of the baby's bedding and toys are conducive to the prevention of herpangina.
