How to care for herpes zoster in babies?

Hello Doudehui, my baby has developed several small herpes in his mouth these past few days and is not feeding well. It looks like an ulcer. But I saw what you posted, saying that hand, foot and mouth disease will enter a high-incidence period recently, and she happened to have a fever again, so I was particularly worried. But after I took my baby to the hospital, the doctor said it was neither oral ulcer nor hand, foot and mouth disease, but herpangina. I would like to know how to care for a baby with herpetic angina? Will you get it again after you get it once? Herpangina and hand, foot and mouth disease are both caused by enterovirus infections, and both cause symptoms such as fever, oral herpes, sore throat, salivation, and food refusal. They are very similar. However, herpangina only causes blisters in the throat, while hand, foot and mouth disease causes blisters not only in the throat, but also on the hands and feet, and even on the buttocks, inner thighs, perineum, knees, elbows, etc. This is the difference between the two. Herpangina is highly contagious and spreads quickly. It is mainly spread through contact and droplets. Children aged 6 months to 5 years are generally susceptible. However, the disease is self-limiting. From the initial fever (as soon as the virus arrives) High fever), many small red blisters appear in the throat. After the fever subsides, the blisters in the throat rupture and form ulcers. The baby will refuse to eat milk and water, drool, and cry because of the pain. Then it will completely recover. The course of the disease is basically It\’s two weeks. How is herpetic angina treated? The main treatment for herpangina is to drink more water and maintain oral hygiene! And it is best to drink Liangbaikai, because there are wounds in the baby\’s mouth, and bacteria will multiply when they stay on the wounds. After the mucous membrane is broken, some liquid will leak out, which is the most nutritious for bacteria. Drinking Liangbaikai can not only relieve pain, but also relieve pain. It can also clean the wound surface to facilitate recovery. In addition, you can also spray watermelon cream spray, tin powder or herpes net on the herpes area to relieve pain and inhibit the virus. In severe cases, you can also take antiviral oral liquid or Pudilan oral liquid for antiviral treatment. Generally, you don’t need to take anti-inflammatory drugs. Getting it once ≠ Life-long immunity. Since herpes angina is not caused by a single virus, but by a group of viruses, getting it once does not give you lifelong immunity. Because the infection may be this virus this time, it will be another virus next time, which means that the same child can have this disease repeatedly, caused by different types of viruses. How to prevent herpes zoster? Prevention is better than cure, so daily care is very important! Be sure to pay attention to oral hygiene, keep the mouth clean, wash your baby\’s hands frequently, open windows frequently for ventilation, and disinfect your baby\’s tableware and toys regularly. If there are many children in the family, when a baby develops herpetic angina, it is best to isolate the baby and wear a mask to avoid being infected. Generally speaking, the symptoms of herpangina are very mild, and the risk level is not as high as that of hand, foot and mouth disease. However, it cannot be ruled out that under some special circumstances (such as the baby\’s constitution or the parents\’ handling methods, etc.), it may develop into severe disease. possible. Therefore, if your baby develops listlessness, persistent high fever, or convulsions, you must seek medical attention promptly to avoid life-threatening delays in treatment.
