Oral herpes infection, Causes and symptoms.

The primary oral herpes infection (primary herpetic stomatitis) is a primary infection caused by the herpes simplex virus. It can cause painful sores of rapid development in the gums and other parts of the mouth. The secondary herpes (cold sores or recurrent) is a local reactivation of the virus that causes an ulcer on his lips.
Causes and symptoms:
It is common that a child contracted the herpes simplex virus from an adult with cold sores. Such a primary infection in children (primary herpes) produces a general inflammation of the gums and pain spread throughout the mouth, causing even hits fever, swollen lymph nodes in the neck and a feeling of malaise. While most cases are mild and go unnoticed, it is common for parents to confuse the disorder with teeth or other processes. Within a period of 2 or 3 days, small blisters (vesicles) are formed in the mouth of the child. They could go unnoticed because they were quickly burst, leaving the mouth in raw and painful. The pain can be felt anywhere in the mouth but always includes the gums. Although the child improves after a week or even earlier, the herpes simplex virus never fails to leave the body and the infection presents frequency with new outbreaks in other time in life (secondary herpes). People who have not suffered from oral herpes during childhood but I get to be adults tend to have more severe symptoms.
