Hello, Thanks for your query. Pain relievers containing acetaminophen are effective in treating fever, headache and body aches associated with herpangina. Like the common cold, treating herpangina means treating the symptoms and easing the patient s discomfort. Get the proper amounts of fluids and food, because herpangina can cause painful swallowing and a loss of appetite. Offer a bland, soft diet devoid of salt, spices and citrus to lessen the pain of eating. Apple juice and warm chicken broth I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
