PY - 2017 T2 - Comprehensive Pediatric Hospital Medicine, 2e AB - Children with complaints of mouth and/or throat pain may have infections that range from mild and self-limited in nature to severe and life threatening. With the advent of childhood immunizations and the increased availability of effective antimicrobials, we have seen improved outcomes and decreased incidence of many serious, life-threatening infections.1-4 Despite this, infections of the neck and oral cavity remain a significant cause of childhood morbidity and reason for admission to the hospital. This chapter focuses on common oral cavity and neck infections that result in hospitalization or have potential for serious complications.
