Neck Pain
Although herpangina symptoms are usually mild and go away with home care in seven to ten days, patients can experience significant pain. The discomfort isn't limited to mouth blisters and headaches.
A typical complaint is neck pain, which may radiate to the lower back, making the child or adult with herpangina uncomfortable as they work to recover from the infection. The pain might result from a fever or regular vomiting.
