Patient's question:
My 2-year-old baby got a cold these past few days due to the change in weather, and she also developed many small, painful, and itchy bumps on her body. How should I treat the herpes caused by the cold?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, the baby is 2 years old. After catching a cold, they developed herpes again, which is painful and itchy. This is caused by a viral infection. It is necessary to monitor temperature changes, protect the skin to prevent scratching and transmission, and coordinate medication treatment at the same time. It is recommended to take oral antiviral medication and apply calamine lotion externally. The diet should be light and easy to digest. If there are symptoms such as a drop in temperature or a continuous increase in herpes, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
