	Herpangina
		Herpangina is caused by a virus known as the "Coxsackie virus", because it was first found in patients in the town of Coxsackie in eastern New York.
		Often a child with herpangina will be able to drink without discomfort but can't eat solid foods because of pain (from salt or acid in the food, or just because the solid or partially-chewed food scrapes against the sores).
		The biggest problem with herpangina, though, is that the pain may make it difficult for you to drink enough to avoid becoming dehydrated.
