Treatment for herpes.

The main aim of treatment for herpes primary is to alleviate the pain for the patient to sleep, eat and drink normally. The pain may prevent the child eat and drink, and this, combined with fever, can cause dehydration. Therefore, the more liquid the child drink, the better. To relieve pain in adults or children over age can be used by medical prescription, a mouthwash as the anesthetic lidocaine. A mouthwash containing sodium bicarbonate can also relieve.
The secondary treatment for herpes is most effective when started before the appearance of blisters, as they have developed symptoms (prod Rome). Take vitamin C for the duration of the prod Rome can accelerate the disappearance of cold sores. To avoid the appearance of blisters is recommended to protect the lips from direct sunlight, using a wide-brimmed hat or a lip balm with sunscreen. In addition, we must avoid activities and foods that can cause recurrences. Anyone with severe and frequent recurrences may benefit by taking lysine (available in natural foods stores) for an extended period of time.
The balm of acyclovir can reduce the intensity of access and heal the wound more quickly. The labial balsams, such as petroleum jelly, can prevent the lips were cracked and reduce the risk of the virus spreading to surrounding areas. Adults with severe wounds can take antibiotics to prevent bacterial infections, although this treatment is ineffective in viral infections. You can prescribe acyclovir capsules for acute cases and persons with immunodeficiency. Corticosteroids are not used in the herpes simplex because they can spread the infection.
