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. Can I change the diaper now? 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.Medical advice: Have you recovered from your illness now? If it has completely healed, with the skin and mucous membranes restored, you can change the diaper. If it hasn’t healed yet, it’s best not to change the diaper, as the herpes simplex virus can spread through sexual contact with an infected person or by sharing eating utensils, towels, razors, and other items that come into contact with the virus.
Care instructions: Be careful not to let the child touch the area of herpes simplex inflammation, and avoid allowing the child to come into contact with items you have used, such as towels.
