Methods 1: Cold sores were treated by changing lifestyle.
1, make sure you have cold sores. Cold sores and fever herpes are the same thing, but they are different from oral ulcers. Oral ulcer is an ulcer in the mouth. Cold sores may only occasionally grow in the mouth. They are usually smaller than oral ulcers and are foamy when they attack. Oral ulcers are not contagious and are not caused by viruses, so their treatment is different from that of cold sores.
2. Know the symptoms of cold sores. Before you really see herpes, you may feel a slight tingling or burning sensation around your lips, which may make you get herpes. The earlier the onset of herpes is discovered, the faster measures can be taken to accelerate its recovery. You may feel a small lump or lump on the stinging skin.
Other early symptoms include itchy lips or oral skin, sore throat, swollen glands, pain when swallowing and fever.
3. Isolate herpes for the first time. Herpes simplex virus is highly contagious, so avoid kissing or other mouth-to-mouth contact during the attack. At the same time, avoid sharing tableware, teacups or straws with others, and thoroughly clean dishes and tableware with disinfectant. Washing blisters gently with soap and water can also prevent the further spread of cold sores to some extent. Wash your hands frequently and try to avoid contact with the lesions. If you touch herpes, you may infect others or other parts of yourself, such as eyes and genitals.
4. Treat fever. Like the name of febrile herpes, sometimes herpes attacks are accompanied by fever, especially in children. If you have a fever, use antipyretics, such as acetaminophen, and carefully monitor the fever. You can take a bath with warm water; Cold compress the inner thighs, feet, arms and neck; Hot tea; Popsicle; Have enough sleep to treat fever.
5. Relieve the pain. Some OTC cold sore ointment may help to relieve herpes pain, as well as painkillers such as aspirin, acetaminophen and ibuprofen. It is worth noting that because children often suffer from herpes, aspirin can't be used in children generally, because it has the risk of causing Reye's syndrome, which is unlikely but potentially fatal.
6. If the immune system is damaged or the disease is particularly serious, and the high fever lasts for 2 weeks or irritates the eyes, you need to see a doctor. People with weak immune system are likely to have long-term complications and even death when they are infected with herpes virus.
In many countries, eye infection with herpes virus is an important cause of blindness. So, you should be more careful not to infect your eyes. If you feel stinging eyes, see a doctor immediately.
7. Various methods to prevent cold sores. Although herpes simplex cannot be cured, it can be prevented before the attack: apply sunscreen to lips and weak parts. Zinc oxide is helpful to those who suffer from cold sores due to sunlight.
Towels, clothes and sheets should be scalded with boiling water after each use.
Don't have oral sex if you have oral herpes. This will spread the herpes virus to the genitals, even if there are no blisters or diseases at that time.
8. be patient If left unchecked, cold sores will last for 8 to 10 days. At this time, there is nothing you can do. Avoid squeezing or picking long bubbles, which will only make it heal more slowly.
9. Reduce stress. Studies have shown that the degree of stress is positively correlated with the possibility of cold sores. In order to prevent future diseases and shorten the pain when you are sick, you need to reduce anxiety and psychological stress.
Method 2: Oral treatment.
1, with licorice. There is a key ingredient in licorice that can accelerate the healing time of cold sores. Eat common licorice preparation (made of real licorice instead of fennel) or licorice supplement. Licorice supplements can be made into paste with water and directly applied to the affected area several times a day.
2. Eat more foods containing lysine. Protein, the main herpes virus causing cold sores, can compete with protein-lysine in daily food. Eat cheese, yogurt and milk every day, and buy some lysine supplements at the drugstore.
3. Avoid eating foods containing arginine. Some studies believe that herpes attacks are related to arginine, which is found in chocolate, cola, peas, cereals, peanuts, gelatin, cashews and beer. This view has not been confirmed yet, but if you often get herpes, you will consider limiting your intake and not eating these foods when you are sick.
4. Use oral antiviral drugs. Some prescription antiviral drugs have been proved to be effective for herpes, such as penciclovir, acyclovir and valaciclovir. Although these drugs can't cure or effectively prevent herpes, they can accelerate the healing of herpes and reduce its severity. Generally speaking, it is most effective to use this medicine when herpes is just discovered. If you have recurrent attacks, the doctor will prescribe this medicine for you, and even if you have no symptoms of herpes, you will take it every day, which will inhibit future attacks. Inhibition therapy is effective for some people, but clinical studies have not shown universal success.
The principle of anti-herpesvirus drugs is to interfere with the virus replication speed. The more the viral DNA replication is disturbed, the longer the immune system will win over the patients.
Method 3: Local treatment.
1, ice the affected area. Ice compress can not only create an environment unsuitable for herpes virus parasitism, but also alleviate the pain caused by herpes. Use ice packs instead of sticking ice directly on the affected parts. Move the ice pack around the affected area. Do not ice for more than 10- 15 minutes each time.
2. Use tea tree oil. Tea tree oil is an effective local antiviral substance. Dissolve a small amount of tea tree oil in 2-3 times of water, and apply it intermittently several hours before herpes formation. This can prevent the formation of herpes and prevent it from getting worse when it grows.
3. Rub some milk. Protein in milk can help herpes heal, and the low temperature of liquid can relieve pain. Dip a cotton ball in some milk and apply it to the affected area several times a day. When you find that you may start to get herpes, start doing it.
Step 4 apply vaseline. Covering herpes with vaseline can help stop the bacteria and viruses that make the infection worse. Cover herpes with enough vaseline and keep it moist all the time. Be sure to use clean cotton swabs or freshly washed hands to prevent bacteria on your hands from contracting herpes.
5. Use apple vinegar. Apple vinegar can dry bubble, sterilize and even destroy the pH environment of herpes. It may sting a little to spread herpes with vinegar. Several times a day, apply a cotton swab dipped in vinegar to herpes.
6. Use hydrogen peroxide. This traditional disinfectant can dry the affected area and kill the bacteria infected with herpes. Several times a day, pour some into the affected area or dip a cotton swab in some hydrogen peroxide.
7. Apply with a tea bag. The nutrients and antioxidants in green tea have magical effects on relieving herpes and accelerating its healing. Soak a cup of green tea, and then apply the tea bag directly to the affected area until it gets cold. Another way to relieve it is to refrigerate or freeze the tea bag first, and then stick it on herpes.
8. Cut some garlic. Garlic is a prescription for treating many diseases. Use mashed or chopped garlic for herpes 15 minutes. Garlic has antibacterial effect, which can disinfect the affected area and speed up the healing time. It is worth noting that garlic is effective and may sting when applied.
9. Put some salt on it. Although applying salt directly to herpes will sting a little, it can speed up the healing process. Let the salt stay in the affected area for a few minutes so that it can take effect, then wash off the salt and apply some aloe vera. The role of aloe vera is to relieve the sting of herpes and the pain caused by salt.
10, wipe some vanilla extract with a cotton swab. Apply it four times a day until the cold sore disappears. Alcohol is used in the processing of vanilla extract, which is why vanilla extract is effective for cold sores.
1 1. Use local antiviral drugs. Topical drugs such as docosanol and tramadol can be used to control herpes attacks. Although doctors can't explain exactly how docosanol kills herpes simplex virus, they know that it can enter the cytoplasm. TraMata can achieve therapeutic effect by changing the surface composition of skin cells.
Tip Stress may cause some people to get herpes, so practice relaxation skills and reduce stress to avoid getting herpes.
Some women get herpes during or before menstruation.
Generally speaking, people with weak immune system are prone to get sick, so it is best to keep healthy through reasonable diet, exercise and avoiding allergies, drug abuse and excessive drinking.
Apply a liquid band-aid to cover the whole herpes, and then temporarily cover the herpes when it dries. Apply another coat and let it dry. This is done to cover herpes, make the lip surface smooth when applying lip gloss or lipstick, and at the same time protect the affected area from further infection. When the liquid band-aid dries, apply lipstick to your lips with a lip liner (soaked in boiling water and bleach), and then disinfect the used lip liner. Make sure that the liquid band-aid completely covers herpes before applying lip gloss, because if it is not completely covered, lip gloss/lipstick will irritate herpes and make it worse.
Make sure to use lipstick deep enough to cover up herpes.
When removing makeup, carefully clean the affected area with enough alcohol and make it as dry as possible.
Do not often use this method or other methods to "block" herpes, which will affect its healing and drying process.
Topical ointment of behenyl alcohol and penciclovir may be effective. These are used to treat local viral infections and can accelerate the healing process. Docosanol is an over-the-counter drug and can be purchased without a prescription.
Hormone changes sometimes lead to herpes attacks. Not surprisingly, some contraceptive methods (such as the morning-after pill) can cause herpes.
Warning: This article only provides general guidance and cannot replace the advice of professional doctors. Herpes simplex 1 is a very serious situation, so it is very important to consult a doctor for treatment in time.
Wipe the broken bubbles with alcohol or nail polish remover (strongly recommended by unilateral websites), otherwise the unbroken bubbles will leave scabs on or around the lips (sometimes very unsightly) because these things are very irritating.
Herpes is still contagious after complete healing 1 week. Herpes virus can spread asymptomatic.
Searching for cold sores or fever herpes on the Internet will produce a large number of prescriptions, from vitamin supplements to poison ivy! As mentioned in these methods, one-sided natural therapy may be really useful for some people, but sometimes it is also dangerous. When in doubt, use your common sense to judge and consult a doctor.
Most cold sores are caused by herpes simplex virus 1, but sometimes herpes simplex virus type 2 (genital herpes virus) can also cause cold sores.
