Boils on your son's lips

Patient's question:

My son was one month old when my wife had a cold and took some anti-inflammatory medication. Since then, small white blisters have appeared on his lips.

Doctor's answer:

Your condition may be caused by a viral infection, and there is no specific treatment available. The main approach is still general supportive therapy and symptomatic treatment. Antibiotics or sulfonamides are ineffective. Some antiviral drugs, such as idoxuridine, acyclovir, and ganciclovir, may have some efficacy against herpes virus infections.
