What if the child gets herpes?


Empathy in care, excellence in medicine.
There are many types of herpes that children get, and each requires a different treatment: first, chickenpox caused by infection with the varicella-zoster virus. This chickenpox can appear as crystal clear blisters all over the body, usually accompanied by fever, and rarely shows obvious itching. Treatment is recommended with oral valciclovir hydrochloride or acyclovir, combined with topical calamine lotion twice a day, followed by topical acyclovir ointment twice a day. Second, herpes zoster following varicella zoster virus infection. This herpes zoster is treated exactly the same as varicella, but over a longer period of time. It is characterized by unilateral distribution along the body with significant neuropathic pain. Third, pemphigus in children. This kind of pemphigus is a huge blister, and it is easy to show rupture and exudation by touching the blister epidermis with hands. It is recommended to take advantage of the time to go to the local hospital for hospitalization, because the prognosis of this disease is poor.
