Can I breastfeed after stopping Acyclovir cream for almost two days?

Patient's question:

The baby has a blister on their mouth. I used Acyclovir cream, but I have almost stopped using it for two days now. Hello, can I change the diaper? The assistance I need: When can I change the diaper for the child?

Doctor's answer:

General symptomatic treatment is usually sufficient, and no special measures are required. Advice: Have you recovered from your illness now? If it has completely healed, the skin and mucous membranes have recovered. You can change the diaper. If it hasn't healed yet, it's best not to change the diaper, because the herpes simplex virus can spread through sexual contact with infected individuals or by touching shared eating utensils, towels, razors, etc. Care: You should be careful not to let the child touch the area of herpes simplex inflammation, and also avoid letting the child come into contact with items you have used, such as towels.
