Patient's question:
The child has herpes on the corner of their mouth. It started as small red bumps and has now expanded like this. It's oozing yellow pus and forming scabs, and it has grown larger. Can these yellow pus scabs be removed? They have applied acyclovir cream and taken ribavirin granules.Doctor's answer:
Canker sores are a type of herpes-related rash, characterized by localized, raised, fluid-filled vesicular lesions. It is recommended that you, in addition to using antiviral medication, also appropriately apply fusidic acid ointment externally and undergo oral cephalosporin-based antibacterial treatment. Pay attention in daily life, avoid frequently touching with your hands, drink more water, wash hands frequently, and use separate towels and utensils. After recovery, pay attention to eating more green leafy vegetables, moderate coarse grains, avoid excessive meat consumption, diversify your food intake, and moderately sunbathe while maintaining regular physical activity.
