Once infants and young children have low resistance, they are prone to developing infantile herpetic stomatitis. Although this is not a particularly serious disease, it can still cause pain to the child, with discomfort symptoms mainly including fever, headache, general fatigue, and lymph node swelling. So, how to treat pediatric herpetic stomatitis?
If the symptoms of pediatric herpetic stomatitis are relatively mild, no special treatment is needed and can be cured by relying on the baby's immune system. But when the inflammation is severe and the baby experiences symptoms such as fever, it is necessary to take the baby to the hospital. The doctor will use anti-inflammatory and antibacterial drugs to treat the baby. Generally, traditional Chinese patent medicines and simple preparations will be applied externally and taken orally. Parents should use it for the baby according to the doctor's advice.
In addition to medication treatment, parents should also remind their babies to pay attention to oral hygiene after falling ill. As oral inflammation can cause oral ulcers, if the baby comes into contact with stimulating food, it will cause severe pain, and the baby will cry incessantly. Failure to clean properly can also lead to bacterial infections at the ulcer site. Therefore, parents should pay attention to their diet and habits.
Parents should provide their babies with liquid food at a suitable temperature, so that they can eat more easily and are less likely to be stimulated. If a baby feels tired due to oral inflammation, giving them more rest can also promote the recovery of oral inflammation. The most important thing is to increase water intake. Warm water can help reduce inflammation to a certain extent and provide sufficient water in the baby's body to resist inflammation.
