What should we do if children have herpetic pharyngitis? Do parents and friends know about it? Children develop herpetic pharyngitis because the weather is hot and the indoor air circulation is poor, which causes bacteria in the air to enter the respiratory tract. If a child has herpetic pharyngitis, the child should be kept away from crowded places to avoid infecting others. Parents should adjust their own emotions and comfort their children to ensure that their children recover as soon as possible.
