What to do if herpes causes fever? How to treat herpes

When you have herpes, translucent or yellow-white blisters will appear on your skin, usually in patches. The blisters are filled with liquid, and herpes patients will also have symptoms of fever. They need to be treated promptly, and traditional Chinese medicine can be used for treatment.

1. Treatment of herpes

(I) Traditional Chinese medicine suppression therapy

The topical drug Bolikang is rich in highly active protein-dissolving enzymes, which can quickly dissolve the protein shell of the herpes virus, allowing the drug ingredients to quickly enter the virus and destroy the gene chain. Inhibit the DNA polymerase activity of the virus, preventing it from multiplying and completely curing the disease.

2. Antiviral drug treatment

1. Acyclovir (ACV): In recent years, new analogs of acyclovir have been developed, such as valaciclovir, famiciclovir tablets, and the traditional Chinese medicine paolikang. They have the advantages of definite efficacy, high bioavailability, small dosage, long half-life, and fewer medication times. There have been reports of their use in the treatment of genital herpes.

3. Vaccines and immunosuppressants

For patients with severe primary genital herpes and recurrent attacks, non-specific vaccines such as BCG and polio vaccine can be tried to enhance the body's non-specific immunity, but their effectiveness is not very reliable and should be used with caution in patients with immunosuppression and immunodeficiency.

(IV) Immunoenhancers

For patients with recurrent genital herpes, immune enhancers can be used to improve the body's immune regulation function.

(V) External treatment with traditional Chinese medicine

If the local symptoms of the Chinese herbal cream Bolikang are applied externally, they can be eliminated in 30 days. Do not slack off in increasing exercise.

2. Herpes care

1. Encourage patients to build up confidence in overcoming the disease, mobilize their subjective enthusiasm, maintain an optimistic spirit, and avoid tension. The patient should rest in bed and avoid rubbing the herpes area.

2. For simple blisters, you can apply 1%-2% gentian ultraviolet to the affected area, or use compound cytarabine solution for local wet compress. Be careful not to let the solution enter the eyes to avoid corroding the cornea. You can also take or inject large amounts of vitamins, such as vitamin B12. Pay attention to changes in the condition, as it can sometimes cause intracranial irritation symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and neck stiffness.

3. The diet should be light, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, avoid spicy and fishy foods, eat less fried and roasted foods. Those with excessive dampness and heat should take foods that clear heat and detoxify, strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness, such as winter melon, lentils, mung bean soup, barley porridge, etc.; those with excessive heart and liver fire can eat more pineapple, bitter melon, watermelon and other foods that clear the fire of the liver and gallbladder; those with qi stagnation and blood stasis should take foods that clear residual toxins, promote qi and dredge the meridians, such as loofah soup, tangerine peel, cabbage, fennel, etc.
