It mainly affects children, and infections occur throughout the year. Most cases recover with supportive (symptomatic) treatment, but people with weakened immunity can develop severe pneumonia, so caution is needed.2026-06-26

Head and neck cancer is a general term for malignant tumors that develop in the head and neck region, including the larynx, oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx, nasal cavity, and nasopharynx. Because this area is involved in essential everyday functions such as breathing, swallowing, and speaking, treatment can be challenging. If you have a voice change lasting more than 6 weeks, a mouth sore that doesn't heal after 3 weeks, or a lump in the neck, please see an ENT (ear, nose, and throat) specialist.2026-06-26
