EBV infection in children is generally not serious, and most patients recover spontaneously after infection, but it is more serious if the patient develops diseases such as Burkitt’s lymphoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
EBV infection in children is generally not serious. Because EBV infection is often manifested as a hidden infection, the body’s resistance is able to clear the EBV, so most of them can be cured by themselves. EBV infection in children may not have obvious symptoms, a few may have pharyngitis and upper respiratory tract infections, etc., but most of them can be cured after active treatment.
A small number of children infected with EBV will develop infectious mononucleosis, Burkitt’s lymphoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, lymphoproliferative disorders and other serious diseases, which is a more serious case of EBV infection in children and may lead to death if not treated in time.
Once a child has salivary contact with an EBV-infected person or carrier and develops symptoms such as fever, pharyngitis, and enlarged lymph nodes in the neck, he or she should consult a doctor in time to avoid adverse effects, and if he or she needs to use medication, he or she should take it under the guidance of a doctor.
