A member asked:
Im 45, diagnosed with herpangina. still have a lot of white in mouth and sore throat after 7 days. am i still contagious? what determines when your not?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: When the lesions are gone and no fever is present, contagious nature is likely low. Herpangina can last for a couple of weeks sometimes. If not improving at all, see your doc again.
