What Is Herpangina?

6. How Is Herpangina Diagnosed in Children and Adults?
Diagnosis of herpangina is fairly straightforward. It may look like any other virus when symptoms first appear, but once the ulcers form, it’s generally clear. These particular ulcers have a unique appearance that indicates right away what the problem is.
The infection usually lasts for about 10 days. Doctors may request that patients schedule another appointment if the illness becomes prolonged. During follow-up visits, they may order specific tests to make sure there are no other factors contributing to the rate of the healing process.
