Late manifestations of herpes pharyngitis

The late manifestations of herpes pharyngitis, i.e., herpes pharyngitis has tended to heal. The later stage is usually the gradual relief of fever and sore throat, i.e., the temperature gradually returns to normal and the sore throat is reduced or even disappears. The herpes that occurred in the oral mucosa and the ulcers formed by the rupture of the herpes will also gradually heal. The duration of herpes pharyngitis is usually 4-6 days, with most patients recovering in about 1 week, and individual patients can have the disease for up to 2 weeks. Herpes pharyngitis is an acute respiratory infection caused by coxsackie group A viruses that are transmitted mainly by fecal-oral and respiratory routes. In the early stages of herpes pharyngitis, there is an incubation period, i.e., a period without symptoms, after which the patient presents with fever and sore throat. The fever can be low or moderate, or it can manifest as a high fever, and the patient has a more intense sore throat. Within the first 2 days of the onset of the disease, a grayish-white herpes can be found in the patient’s oral mucosa, which breaks down and forms an ulcer. The ulcers heal as the disease progresses and the fever and sore throat gradually disappear.
