Children's mouth herpes

Herpes is a skin disease that can grow on every skin surface on the human body. Herpes on the human skin surface is mainly caused by the herpes virus, so herpes is contagious and spreadable. However, some parents found some herpes in their babies' mouths while taking care of them, which made them very worried that it would affect their babies' normal eating. So what should they do if their babies have herpes in their mouths?

What to do if blisters grow on baby's lips

When a baby has blisters on his lips, the mother should first find out whether the baby feels any pain, because whether the blisters hurt can determine what type of blisters the baby has.

1. Oral thrush

If the baby does not feel any pain, then it is likely that it is a common baby disease - thrush. This is because the baby's skin is soaked in milk when feeding, which increases the moisture in the baby's epidermis, causing the epidermis to float and form white blisters.

However, these blisters will gradually disappear and fall off over time, and may grow again. This is not caused by any disease, so parents can rest assured as long as they take good care of their babies.

Treatment method: Mothers can grind nystatin into powder and mix it with cod liver oil drops, and apply it to the blistered areas. Or apply 1% gentian violet for treatment. Generally, apply it after feeding, and you will see the effect soon after applying it for 2 to 3 days.

2. Oral ulcers

If your baby only has blisters and pain on his lips, it may be a mouth ulcer.

Treatment method: At this time, you can use watermelon frost spray. The watermelon frost spray has a tube mouth. Aim at the wound, press the watermelon frost, and spray it on the wound. 3-6 times a day, 0.1~0.3 grams each time, spray on the affected area.

3. Getting angry

If your baby's lips are blistered and painful, and he has difficulty defecating, he may be suffering from a sore throat.

Treatment method: At this time, you can give your baby some fruit foods that clear heat, or take medicine with the doctor's consent, such as Children's Seven Star Tea Granules.

3. Herpes virus infection

If your baby's lips are blistered and painful and he or she has a fever, it is most likely due to herpes virus infection or hand, foot and mouth disease. If accompanied by red spots on the hands and feet, it is most likely hand, foot and mouth disease.

Treatment method: If it is herpes virus infection and hand, foot and mouth disease, you can take oral heat-clearing and fire-reducing medicines, such as Kouyanning, under the professional guidance of a doctor, combined with antiviral drugs and anti-infection treatments.

Warm reminder: When your baby has blisters on his lips, make sure to let him drink more boiled water. You can also boil pear water or heat-clearing vegetable and fruit juice for your baby to drink. When your baby's lips are blistered and peeling, do not peel them off forcibly to avoid bleeding or infection, which will cause unnecessary pain to the baby.
