What to do if herpes appears around the mouth

Herpes often appears in the human body, which is not only not good for appearance, but also has a certain impact on physical health, because it is also a virus. If herpes grows around the mouth, you need to pay attention to your diet, avoid eating irritating foods, drink more water and eat vegetables and fruits, and supplement the vitamins needed by the body. You also need to seek medical treatment in time and choose the appropriate treatment method according to your actual situation.

1. Herpes

Herpes refers to a disease caused by viruses of the herpesviridae family. Currently, there are eight viruses in the herpesviridae family (herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2, varicella-zoster virus, human cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus and human herpes virus types 6, 7, and 8) that are known to cause human diseases. These viruses are collectively referred to as human herpesviruses (HHVs). HHV is a group of medium-sized enveloped DNA viruses that can cause a variety of diseases in humans and can remain latent in the body for a long time, causing recurrent infection under certain conditions. Common clinical diseases include chickenpox, shingles, herpes simplex, and genital herpes. It can invade multiple organs of the human body and can occur at any age.

2. What to do about herpes

1. Avoid eating spicy food: Herpes is mostly caused by getting angry, so spicy foods such as peppers, onions, ginger, and garlic should be avoided;

2. Don’t eat seafood, especially shrimps and crabs: Seafood is an allergic food. Once you have herpes after eating seafood, it will not only not get better, but will make it more and more severe. So don't eat seafood, the consequences of greed can be very serious;

3. Drink more water: If you have internal heat, you should drink more water and urinate more, so that you can get rid of internal heat. If possible, you can also drink some honeysuckle soaked water, which is a traditional Chinese medicine for removing internal heat, but it is not recommended to drink too much;

4. Eat more fruits: Eat some fruits with high vitamin C content, but don’t eat oranges, durian and other fruits that are easy to get angry. Generally, apples, strawberries, etc. are fine;

5. Apply antibiotic ointment: I don’t recommend a brand here. Go to the pharmacy and buy herpes ointment. It’s pretty easy to use. Apply it a few times and it’ll be fine.

6. Don’t eat coriander: coriander is inflammatory, which means it can promote herpes outbreaks just like seafood. So don’t eat coriander when you have herpes. Wait until you are completely healed before eating it.

7. Drink green tea to reduce internal heat: Green tea can also reduce internal heat. Don’t drink black tea, just ordinary green tea, a lighter one will do. Brew it three times and drink it every day. It can relieve greasiness and reduce internal heat.

8. Avoid fried, roasted or grilled foods: they are all irritating foods, so just be patient with them for now! Just eat some cold boiled vegetables with less oil. Stay away from junk food too.
