Oral herpes in children is mostly seen in herpes stomatitis, which is self-limiting and generally lasts 7-10 days. Herpes stomatitis, mainly caused by herpes simplex virus infection, mostly occurs in infants or children and is characterized by congestion, redness and edema of the oral mucosa, including the lips, cheeks, tongue and hard palate, and the appearance of clustered, pinhead-sized clear blisters, usually surrounded by a red halo, which quickly rupture, leaving a superficial ulcer, which is usually painful and may be accompanied by enlargement and pressure of local lymph nodes. The disease usually heals spontaneously in 7-10 days, but recovery is generally slow without proper treatment. Current treatment consists of oral antiviral medications, as well as topical anti-inflammatory and pain relieving agents. If you have herpes stomatitis, in addition to active symptomatic treatment, you should also pay attention to a light diet, eat more vegetables and fruits, a reasonable diet, and avoid spicy and stimulating, greasy and cold foods.
