Patient's question:
My baby had a blister on the upper lip a few weeks ago due to a heat rash, which later broke and wouldn't heal. The baby kept licking the upper lip, and whenever a scab formed, the baby would lie on their stomach while sleeping, rubbing it raw and even bleeding. Is there any good way to help the baby recover quickly? Which medications are most effective?Doctor's answer:
According to the baby's condition description, it is mainly the recurrence of blisters and erosion in the lip area. Currently, the main issue is to consult on the cause and further measures.1. Considering the baby's condition and the recurrence of such symptoms, it may be due to discomfort caused by a viral infection.
2. For this situation, the recommended solution is to apply acyclovir ointment for symptomatic local treatment.
3. In daily life, it is important to maintain a regular lifestyle, ensure proper nutrition, avoid touching the affected area, and prevent licking with the tongue.
