The course of viral infections in children is usually 1~2 weeks, which is related to the child’s resistance and the degree of infection.
1. Due to the child’s low resistance and the anatomical characteristics of the respiratory tract, it is easy to cause viral infections, such as common upper respiratory tract infections.
2. If it is a simple viral upper respiratory tract infection, it is a self-limiting disease, there is no specific drug treatment, you can choose antiviral proprietary medicines, such as antiviral oral solution, most of the course of the disease in about 1 week.
If it is a special type of viral infection, such as herpes pharyngitis, which is caused by coxsackievirus infection, the duration of most of the disease is about 1 week. Pharyngoconjunctival fever, which is caused by an adenovirus infection, lasts 1 to 2 weeks.
The course of the disease may be delayed by factors such as the child’s nutritional status, nursing care, and weather conditions.
When viral infection is considered, prompt hospitalization is recommended.
