What is the treatment for herpes on the lips

The herpes virus is a very dangerous and malignant virus. Most people are afraid of the herpes virus, especially the herpes virus on the lips, which grows fast and causes severe pain, causing great inconvenience to patients. It also affects the patient's facial appearance and so on. Herpes labialis generally only appears around the lips, so people don’t have to worry about it spreading to other parts of the body. Let’s take a look at how to treat herpes labialis.

There are usually no symptoms in the early stages of cold sores. A few people may feel itchy lips. Generally, within 4-12 hours, the symptoms develop from no visible symptoms to one or more small blisters that continue to grow larger and the fluid in the blisters increases. For first-time patients, if you are not sure whether you are infected with cold sores, you can consult a doctor for further treatment.

1. Don't be anxious if you have herpes. During the growth period of herpes, do not apply any external medicine, otherwise it will only delay the course of the disease. If you let it grow freely, it will "mature" in a day at most. Keep calm, drink plenty of water, eat more foods that reduce fire, and you can also take vitamin B2 according to the instructions of the medicine. We cannot stop the growth of herpes, we can only make it heal faster and better.

2. When the herpes becomes large and bright, it may break by itself inadvertently. If not, you can use two sterilized cotton swabs to gently squeeze the herpes to burst it, and then use the cotton swabs to squeeze out the pus. Try to squeeze it out as cleanly as possible. It is best to do it at night to avoid eating after treatment. Then apply an appropriate amount of erythromycin ointment or aloe vera gel overnight. The next morning there will be yellow transparent pus crystals and residual ointment. Use a cotton swab to wipe the affected area clean.

3. Next is the scab recovery period. During this period, try not to touch or tear the affected area. There is no need to apply any medicine deliberately. In my experience, a dry environment can make the wound heal faster. You can apply lip balm every day to the non-diseased lips to prevent dryness. Generally, scabs will form in 3-5 days. At this time, don’t be afraid of affecting the appearance and try to pick the scabs. You must wait until the lips under the scab grow complete before picking the scabs. Otherwise, it will bleed or form a scab again. Therefore, impatience can ruin big plans. Come on, recovery is not far away from you.

4. After the scab falls off, your lips will slowly return to their previous pink state.
