10. How Do You Prevent Herpangina?
The best way to prevent herpangina is consistently good hygiene. Frequent and thorough hand washing, along with regular disinfecting of all surfaces, goes a long way toward minimizing the risk of infection for a myriad of illnesses.
It’s never too early to start teaching children how to prevent the spread of germs. As soon as they are old enough to attend daycare or other large gatherings with other children, they are old enough to start getting into the habit of sneezing or coughing into their elbows. If children are sick, particularly if they have a fever, keep them at home to prevent them from spreading their illness to others.
