Recurrent oral herpes: What causes it?

Patient's question:

A 15-month-old boy has recurrent oral herpes, low fever, and cannot take medication. He has been treated with topical treatments, but the condition returns within two days. Is it due to a weakened immune system? The child is still breastfeeding, so how should the mother follow a dietary restriction?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, a 15-month-old child with recurrent oral herpes and low-grade fever is experiencing viral stomatitis caused by an elevated immune response in the body. Active medication treatment is required. It is recommended to provide the child with adequate fluids and pay attention to preventing colds. Give Lixinsa particles and Xia'er Yanbian particles for the maintenance and treatment of herpes. Also, take antiviral particles or Chanshengqi Antiviral Mixture orally. Provide digestive vitamins and trace elements to enhance the body's immune function. Breastfeeding mothers should avoid spicy foods. Always maintain smooth bowel movements in the child.
