Herpes on the lips is a common disease; it brings discomfort, pain and itching to a person. People who suffer from herpes can recognize its symptoms almost from the very beginning of the virus. A slight tingling in the area of the oral mucosa and more pronounced along the contour of the lips serves as the first sign of the development of the disease.

Why is herpes on the lips dangerous?

Often herpes brings its owner only cosmetic inconvenience, but if a person’s immunity is weakened, the presence of the virus can develop into a serious problem. Thus, in cancer patients, patients with HIV, or those who have recently undergone an organ transplant, the infection can infect the entire body. The most severe cases involve damage to the nervous system with the simultaneous development of encephalitis and meningitis. In addition, herpes is not harmless for children, since the virus can cause complications. Therefore, it is very important to immediately treat the disease.

Is it possible to cure the virus completely?

Many people with chronic herpes are interested in how to cure herpes quickly at home? They know that it is impossible to completely suppress the infection in their body.

Perform this procedure until the rash disappears completely. To treat herpes on the labia, you can use exclusively 3% hydrogen peroxide for a week.

Colloidal silver

If formations on the lips appear frequently, then use colloidal silver for treatment. You need to drink half a teaspoon orally. Do this twice a day between meals, dissolving in 0.2 liters of regular cold water. The course of treatment should not last more than 10 days.

Doctors dispute the effectiveness of Validol in the treatment of herpes.

Garlic

First, a clove of garlic is peeled, cut into 2 parts and rubbed into the affected area. When tingling occurs, you cannot immediately wash off the juice; you must leave it for a while. Perform the procedure 3-4 times a day.

Swamp cinquefoil

This herb provides enhanced resistance to herpes. You need to collect fresh grass and grind it to a paste. Then apply several times a day.

Tincture of calendula and oleoresin

Try to choose methods that are easier to implement and with which you can complete the full course of treatment.

Treatment with medications

To get rid of blisters on the lips, various preparations are used: ointments, creams, gels and tablets. For more effective treatment for advanced forms, it is necessary to apply a topical agent and take the drug orally. The most common medical pharmaceutical drugs:

Valaciclovir (destroys viral cells from the inside);
Famvir (has a rapid effect against the pathogenic herpes virus);
Zovirax ointment (does not damage healthy cells);
Panavir-gel (herbal-based antiviral drug);
Acyclovir (blocks the synthesis of the viral DNA chain).

When the tablets enter the body, they are distributed throughout all areas, therefore they have a strong effect, but have a greater number of contraindications. The modern market for antiherpetic drugs is quite large.

Acyclovir

Acyclovir successfully relieves the disease and its symptoms. Available in two forms:

Pills. Before use, you should consult your doctor and inform him about other medications you are taking (if any). You also need to indicate chronic diseases, since the medicine has contraindications. Tablets are more effective than ointments. They are used not only for treatment, but also for prevention.
Ointment. It is important to use at the first symptoms of herpes. Before use, the affected area must be treated with a cotton swab dipped in warm water. The ointment is applied with a cosmetic stick so as not to spread the virus. Perform the procedure every 3–4 hours.

Tetracycline ointment

The ointment is a bacteriostatic antibiotic. Used for the prevention and treatment of secondary bacterial infection. Apply a thin layer to the affected area 4 times a day, covering 1 cm of healthy skin around the resulting cold. If the bubble bursts and a wound forms, avoid getting the drug into this area. When treated from the first symptoms, the result will be visible the next day; if the disease is more protracted, it will take 3-4 days.

Contraindicated for use: with low leukocytes in the blood, mycoses, individual intolerance to components, impaired liver function, stomach ulcers.

Fenistil Pencivir

The drug is based on penciclovir, which helps fight herpes. A local drug, an analogue of Famvir, has an antiviral effect, reduces itching, pain and other signs of the disease. Used every 2 hours for four days.

Levomekol

This ointment will cure a bacterial infection in advanced forms of herpes. Levomekol is used when an abscess forms on the skin. The drug acts only on the desired areas. Symptom relief is felt within an hour. But the drug must be used correctly. If you are taking antibiotics, it is better to discuss this with your doctor, since taking drugs in parallel leads to candidiasis.

Viferon

Viferon is available in the form of candles. They are prescribed mainly for the rectal form. The drug has an antiviral effect and helps improve immunity. It is allowed to be used even by newborns, premature infants and expectant mothers during the second and third trimester. Contraindicated in the first trimester of pregnancy.

Corvalol

If treatment with Corvalol is started immediately, without waiting for foci of inflammation to appear, the disease will go into a latent form. By cauterizing the resulting ulcers, the process of recovery and healing will be accelerated. Using Corvalol, make lotions, moisten cotton wool in the preparation and hold for several seconds. Perform the procedure every 3 hours.

Ointment and gel

A wide range of ointments have been developed for the treatment of herpes rashes. The most popular are:

Zovirax (based on Acyclovir);
Vivorax (prohibited for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding);
Fenistil-Pentsivir (contraindicated in children under 12 years of age, expectant and nursing mothers).

The most effective drugs in gel form:

Viru-Merz Serol (based on Tromantadine, non-addictive);
Panavir (contains a hexose glycoside, increases immunity, fights the virus);
Gerpenox (reduces swelling, relieves pain, accelerates healing);
Infagel (stimulates the immune system, suppresses the virus).

Herpes patch on lips

There are antiherpetic patches (Compeed). If they are used at the initial signs of the disease (mild tingling, twitching, redness), then they can prevent the further appearance of herpes. The patch has several positive properties:

makes the wound invisible to others;
maintains an aesthetic appearance;
reduces symptoms;
prevents infection;
promotes healing.

How can you cauterize

Common and effective cauterizing agents are tincture of propolis, calendula, valocordin, and corvalol. They are safer than using iodine. But it is worth remembering that all alcohol tinctures relieve symptoms, but do not remove the virus from the body.

Toothpaste

Paste for herpes is used in two ways.

Apply a thin layer to the affected area and leave to dry. Apply to the rash until the paste falls off along with it.
During the day, smear the sore every 2 hours (apply the paste for 20 minutes, then rinse with warm water).

It should be borne in mind that these methods are not absolutely safe, as they can cause an allergic reaction.

Features of herpes treatment

During pregnancy

Since many drugs are contraindicated for women during this period, you can use folk remedies that are safer:

make lotions with Corvalol;
lubricate the inflammation site with Forest Balm toothpaste;
lubricate with oils (sea buckthorn or rosehip).

It is still not advisable to self-medicate; you should seek advice from a doctor. Zovirax is often prescribed to pregnant women. Never take antiviral pills without consulting your doctor.

In children

Treatment of herpes in children should be comprehensive: destroying the virus, strengthening the immune system, and following strict instructions for using medications. The sooner you start using ointments, the better and faster the results will be. In traditional medicine, the following are most often prescribed: Acyclovir, Valacyclovir, Penciclovir, Famciclovir.

Therapy using antiviral ointments lasts up to 5 days. The medicine must be applied in a thin layer to the affected area every 3-4 hours. The following drugs are suitable for immunotherapy: Cycloferon, Viferon.

On the labia

They use antiviral and antiherpetic drugs in ointments and tablets (Acyclovir, Gerpevir, Zovirax). The tablets are distributed in the body, destroy the virus and block its development. Ointments are used to get rid of unpleasant symptoms (itching, burning, pain). Together they demonstrate a pronounced effect. Treatment must be supported with immunomodulators. The first thing you should do is consult a specialist; the course of treatment will be determined by your doctor.

Before applying the film, treat the bottle with vodka. This allows you to increase the effectiveness of the procedure.

How does eggshell work? Everything is quite simple - the film prevents the flow of oxygen, which is the cause of the death of herpesvirus infection.

Garlic against herpes

This vegetable is widely used to combat various infectious diseases as it contains flavonoids.

Methods for treating herpes with garlic:

grind 2-3 cloves to a paste and apply to the blisters several times a day;
