Patient's question:
The child is already 3 years old this year. A week ago, they started having a runny nose and coughing with phlegm, and have been taking cold medicine. However, a few days later, they suddenly began experiencing repeated fever, which has continued until now. Their throat also hurts, and after a thorough examination, it was found to be herpes simplex virus infection. I would like to ask how to treat herpes simplex virus infection.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to use some antiviral and anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor for symptomatic treatment. If the fever is severe, you can also use some fever-reducing medications. During the course of medication, it is important to ensure the child drinks plenty of water to promote drug metabolism and facilitate a complete recovery from the symptoms. If the symptoms are severe, intravenous infusion treatment may still be required.
