Patient's question:
Recently, for some reason, I've had sores in my mouth that just won't heal, and my teeth are also hurting a lot. I'm asking, what should I do about herpes labialis?Doctor's answer:
If you carefully check and find that it is herpes, it is generally caused by a viral infection and requires the use of antiviral medication for treatment. You can decide to take acyclovir tablets orally and apply acyclovir ointment externally. If you have a sexual partner, they also need to be carefully checked for the possibility of genital herpes transmission. If there is transmission, both of you need to be treated together. Also, it is recommended to stay more active and boost your immune system to reduce the likelihood of herpes outbreaks.
