My 4 year old was diagnosed with herpangina 5 days ago. We caught it just as the red dots were on her palate. Today she is really raspy. She has been fever free for 3 days and the ulcers are healing. Is this just a side effect of the virus, or could there be damage?
Hi. You need not worry. Deranging is a self limiting viral illness. It is caused by Cossack virus. As the ulcers are already healing - you need not worry. It is just the natural course of the disease Deranging and there will not be any damage. Hope my answer was helpful for you.  I am happy to help any time.
