What is Herpangina?
Herpangina is a virus that often hits a child’s throat, mainly kids under the age of 5. However, anyone can get it, from babies to teenagers and young grown-ups. This painful infection leads to fevers, and little sores or blisters at the throat’s back. It spreads easily, particularly during the summer. Toddlers often get this throat virus because their immune systems haven’t matured yet.
