A positive IgM for herpes simplex virus type 1+2 indicates the presence of recent herpes simplex virus type 1 and type 2 infections. Treatment measures include: antiviral therapy, symptomatic treatment, and lifestyle improvement.
1. Antiviral treatment: mild symptoms can heal on their own, while more severe symptoms need to be treated with antiviral drugs such as acyclovir as prescribed by the doctor to help shorten the course of the disease.
2. Symptomatic treatment: Use boric acid solution to apply wet compresses on the herpes area to minimize exudation and promote healing; use mupirocin ointment and other medications to treat secondary bacterial infections.
3. Improve your lifestyle: There is no cure for the herpes virus once infected, patients need to have a regular work and rest schedule, proper exercise and a balanced diet to enhance immunity and reduce the probability of recurrence.
It is recommended that patients seek timely medical attention, improve the examination, and standardized treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
