Many people have developed oral herpes, which may seem insignificant but can cause great discomfort. Adults can tolerate it, but babies who develop oral herpes will inevitably cry. In order to help the baby recover their health as soon as possible, the mother will also try her best to relieve discomfort for the baby. So, how long does it usually take for the baby to have oral herpes?
Oral herpes zoster is a common disease mainly caused by oral herpes simplex virus, oral herpes zoster virus, and hand foot mouth disease virus. Most babies can recover from oral herpes within about a week. However, the severity of each baby's condition varies, and the time for recovery also varies. Some babies have a slower recovery rate, which may take about ten days.
After a baby suffers from oral herpes, in order to promote the recovery of the condition, the mother should provide scientific care for the baby. Firstly, it is necessary to ensure the hygiene of the corners of the mouth, and clean the affected area with physiological saline every day to prevent bacterial growth from worsening the condition. Then pay attention to supplementing the baby with vitamin B to promote skin healing.
Secondly, the mother should also pay attention to observing the baby's condition. If there is an infection or the condition continues to worsen, it is necessary to seek medical attention in a timely manner and apply anti-inflammatory ointment for treatment. Babies who have already been infected can be given appropriate antibiotic treatment to avoid exacerbating the infection and increasing the difficulty of treatment.
