How to treat herpes on the lips. Effective folk remedies for herpes

When herpes jumps up on the face, it causes an uproar, especially among the female representatives. Moreover, its appearance necessarily coincides with some important upcoming event. Of course, how can you be happy in such a situation if you can’t hide a puffy sore on your lip? But there is a way out, you can speed up the healing process, and after 3-5 days say goodbye to the hated herpes. To do this, you need to know what are the most effective pharmacy and folk remedies that quickly eliminate the infection.

Drugs for herpes from a pharmacy

Today, pharmacy products do not experience a shortage of antiviral and wound healing drugs. But you need to know that for herpetic diseases there is a separate series of drugs containing active substances to which the herpes virus is sensitive. These are special antiviral medicines in various forms - creams, ointments, gels, tablets, injections. They help to quickly extinguish the activity of the viral pathogen, prevent the multiplication of bubbles on the skin and promote rapid regeneration.

Any remedy for internal use is intended only for generalized forms of the disease, when the affected area is large enough, for example, with herpes on the external genital organs, shingles. With local herpes, drugs in the form of soft formulations for the external treatment of non-extensive rashes are more suitable. Consider the means by which it is recommended to treat herpes.

Antivirals

One of the best direct-acting drugs are medicinal formulations with acyclovir. This substance purposefully acts depressingly on the virus that causes herpetic foci. Acyclovir drugs include Acyclovir (ointment costs 22-30 rubles, cream - 75-90 rubles) and Zovirax (cream price - 195-220 rubles).

With a primary infection in a clinical manifestation and with extensive herpes with a severe course, the drug Valtrex in the form of tablets won special recognition, but it is expensive, about 1,500 rubles will be required for a package of 10 doses.

Each time before applying an ointment or cream to problem areas, they should first be treated with an alcohol-free antiseptic solution. It can be ordinary furatsilin. After gentle disinfection, local antiviral procedures will be allowed.

The list of antiviral pharmaceuticals for herpes:

• Virolex, Acivir, Zovirax, Acyclovir: funds with a basic basis - acyclovir, are involved in the suppression of the replication of herpes viruses;
• Valaciclovir, Valtrovir, Valavir: agents based on the valine ester of acyclovir, which, being converted into triphosphate in the body, enters into direct interaction with the DNA polymerase of herpes viruses, inhibiting the synthesis of daughter molecules of the pathogen;
• Pencivir, Vectavir, Penciclovir, Famciclovir : the basis is the substance penciclovir, which acts on viral antigens of the herpes class according to a similar principle as preparations with acyclovir valine ester;
• Bonafton and Florenal in the form of ointment and eye drops: are drugs from the antiviral series, effective against herpes viruses;
• Acyclovir, Zovirax : available in the form of tablets, ointments, injections for an intensive fight against herpetic eruptions;
• Viru-Merz (Tromantadine): produced in one dosage form - in the form of an antiherpetic gel; has a strong effect on the suppression of the adsorption and introduction of the herpes virus into human cells, due to which recovery occurs already on the 3rd day (cost - 300-460 rubles).

Other drugs for herpes viruses

Folk remedies for herpes

Alternative methods are more designed to prevent the jumping of new watery pimples, drying existing bubbles and accelerating healing. They are also very effective, like pharmacy drugs, but do not have such a strong antiviral effect. Therefore, it is better to use them at the first signs - itching, swelling, pulsations, etc.

If herpes jumped up, you can not hesitate for a minute, so that the infection does not “envelop” most of the lips or the skin under the nose. No strong pharmaceutical preparations at home? While the rash has not yet turned into a "hotbed" of hated bubbles, there is no need to waste time, provide first aid with simple improvised means that are always available in the home. Consider the most popular and effective folk methods, they can be safely called a "lifesaver" for herpes.

• Sprinkling herpes with table salt or baking soda- a great way to stop the inflammatory progression of the infection, so it is suitable at the initial stage of the disease. Do not treat open sores and cracks with salt and soda.
• Lubrication of herpes with toothpaste or powder- these are more antiseptic and drying procedures. Pastes will need to be taken from a pea and applied to the painful area. Toothpaste is best used in the initial manifestation of herpes. Powder can be sprinkled on weeping wounds. Both remedies are equally good, as they are able to prevent the appearance of rashes if they were involved in the first tickle on the lips.
• Essential oils of fir and tea tree- natural remedies for first aid in the event of initial symptoms (itching, tingling, swelling, etc.). You just need to moisten a piece of cotton wool or drop a drop of any aroma oil on the pad of your index finger and rub it into the skin where discomfort is felt. Oils have an antiviral and wound healing effect. To ensure complete protection against the appearance of bubbles on the lip, it is recommended to lubricate the problem area every 1.5-2 hours.
• Sea buckthorn and almond vegetable oils- they are considered one of the best products used in cosmetology and dermatology. Very beneficial effect on the skin affected by any rashes and wounds. Natural oil compositions accelerate the rate of regeneration of the skin, soften and tighten cracks in herpes, relieve irritation, treat ulcers, nourish the skin with valuable vitamins. Method of application: soak a cotton pad or cotton pad with oil and apply to herpes for 20 minutes, the number of procedures per day is 5 times.
• Treatment of herpes with propolis tincture- a trouble-free way from a herpes virus attack. An extract of propolis on alcohol can be used both for external treatment of the painful area, and for internal use in order to increase immunity. This remedy will increase the body's resistance, suppress the activity of herpes, and help to quickly heal a cold on the lips.
• Treatment with aloe juice, Kalanchoe, lemon- these funds have high bacteriostatic, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory and wound healing properties. It is better to use them in the early manifestation of herpes (at the beginning of skin itching or pulsation), so they are able to prevent the continuation of the development of dermatological lesions. You just need to apply a compress soaked in the juice of one of the plant components every hour to the intended site of the outbreak. With pronounced manifestations with vesicles, ulcers, crusts, cracks, etc., it is impossible to apply lemon lotion . Aloe and kalonchoe are advised to use until the end of treatment.
• The use of garlic and aloe- these two plants showed excellent results in instantly neutralizing an infectious sore on the lips. Garlic contains large quantities ah antiviral substances that help stop the harmful process on the skin caused by herpes. How to use garlic for herpes: take a clove of garlic, make a longitudinal cut
  in half, rub the problem area with the wet side. Rubbing should be done as often as possible. As for aloe, the principle of the procedure is as follows: cut off a plate from a leaf, fixing it with a juicy surface to the wound with an adhesive plaster. With an aloe compress, you need to walk for 30 minutes, and then update the healing material.
• Honey-garlic ointment with ash is an effective home remedy for herpes. The remedy very quickly heals even the most severe forms of the disease. The ointment is prepared as follows: burn a paper sheet, collect ash from it; chop 2 cloves of garlic with a fine grater or garlic chopper; combine garlic with 1 full teaspoon of honey, adding ash to the honey-garlic mixture; carefully grind the healing mass; ointment is ready to use. An antiherpetic composition should be used like a regular ointment, applying it twice a day to herpes.

The appearance of blisters on the lips provokes Herpes simplex virus - herpes simplex, type one (HSV-1). About 90% of the world's inhabitants are infected with it.
A peculiar biological feature of the virus to hide in neurons (nerve cells), most often in nerve nodes, creates a constant risk of recurrence of the infectious process. Periodically, herpes worsens, manifesting external symptoms. Usually it is localized on the same "weak" places for each organism - eyes, oral mucosa, skin. A favorite place for herpes is the nasolabial triangle.

Features of the course of herpes virus infection

Herpes simplex virus of the first type is transmitted from patients with herpes and virus carriers. Pathogenic herpesvirus also lurks in various body fluids:

• discharge from the nasopharyngeal cavity;
• moisture from bubble herpetic eruptions;
• saliva;
• excreted secret from the urethra, cervix, vagina;
• male ejaculate - sperm;
• urine (urine);
• tears;
• blood.

The leading route of transmission of infection is contact in everyday life, but airborne droplets of the virus can also enter. The pathogenic microorganism enters through the conjunctiva of the eyes, mucous membranes of the lips, mouth, genitals, damaged areas of the skin. The risk of infection with herpes increases if the mucous membrane is damaged.

A characteristic form of manifestation of pathology is inflammation of the mucous membranes, skin (herpes of the wings of the nose, lips, face), and the central nervous system. Internal organs can also become infected.

The first contact with a pathogen usually occurs in early childhood (before five years of age), when the child communicates with a carrier of the virus. The latent phase of the disease is short-lived, occurring from two days to two weeks. After this time, antibodies to the herpetic virus are already detected in the blood.
In almost every person, the initial infection takes place in a latent form. In 85% of those infected for the first time, the disease does not manifest itself in any way with external symptoms. In the rest of the population, the infection manifests itself as a general infectious syndrome. It is characterized by:

• temperature;
• loss of appetite, weakness - symptoms of general intoxication;
• signs of a respiratory infection - runny nose, sore throat, sneezing;
• inflammation of the oral mucosa - aphthous.

Possible damage to the conjunctiva or cornea. Further, the virus remains in the body without symptoms, manifesting itself only when the immune system is weakened.
Recurrence of herpesvirus infection occurs at any age. The frequency of recurrence of herpes simplex is quite low. If a "cold" on the lips pops up four or more times during the year - this is a lot. There is reason to think about the state of your immune system.

Since the secondary manifestation of the virus occurs against the background of the presence of antiviral immunoglobulins in the blood, the infection is not acute, but sluggish. The general infectious syndrome is poorly expressed. A relapse usually occurs while the person is sick or the body is in a state of immunodeficiency. Factors affecting the manifestation of herpesvirus can also be:

• hormonal changes - psycho-emotional stress, menstruation;
• hypothermia;
• hyperthermia (overheating);
• heatstroke;
• being in a zone of increased radiation or solar activity.

Herpetic eruptions with a simple virus often appear around the mouth, in the corners of the lips, along the line of their outer contour. Also on the face, inflammation can occur on the forehead, cheeks, ears, wings of the nose.

A characteristic symptom of the disease is a clumped vesicular rash filled with serous fluid. It develops along with redness and swelling. At the same time, inflammation of the lymph nodes can occur.

How to quickly get rid of herpes on the lip

The response of the body to the treatment of infection is individual. It will definitely not be possible to quickly get rid of herpes if treated only with ointments and creams. To date, there is a unified view in world clinical practice: topical antiviral drugs (ointments and creams) are prescribed only as adjuvants that only complement the basis of treatment, but are not systemic drugs for therapy.

Only combined treatment of the secondary manifestation of the herpes simplex virus is effective and efficient. Only a combination of several drugs can quickly and completely localize the focus of inflammation of the infection, especially if treatment is started at the stage of precursors of relapse - itching, burning or redness around the lips.
Antiviral drugs for herpes simplex must be taken by mouth. Drugs prescribed for this disease are listed in Table 1.
Table 1

With Herpes simplex virus of the first and second type, it is customary to prescribe acyclovir. This drug is most effective for the treatment of infectious diseases of this origin. Acyclovir acts in inflamed cells at the molecular level. Embedding in the polynucleotide chain of the DNA of the herpetic virus, the substance blocks its synthesis. The standard dose of Acyclovir 200 mg 4 times a day or 400 mg stops relapse, effectively alleviates severe forms of the course of an exacerbation of the disease in 85% of patients.

The oral medications listed in Table 1 should be combined with topical antivirals. To quickly get rid of herpes on the lips, the form of the drug that is chosen for external treatment also matters. Use cream. Due to the lighter texture, its bioavailability is much higher, as the cream is absorbed quickly and completely.

Acyclovir in the form of an ointment has a greasy texture. It is absorbed much worse than a cream. On the surface of the inflamed area, the ointment leaves an elastic film. Attention! If herpetic vesicles have appeared on the mucous membranes of the eyes, nose, mouth, the use of the cream is not recommended. You need to use ointment.

To quickly cope with the infection, you need a combined effect of not only antiviral agents, but also drugs that strengthen the immune system, since the cause of the recurrence of the virus is a decrease in the body's defenses. Treatment includes the following medications:

• rectal suppositories Viferon;
• suppositories, spray Imunofan;
• tablets, suppositories.

Immunomodulatory preparations of plant origin increase the body's resistance, strengthen the immune system. Echinacea purpurea juice acts against fungi, microbes and viruses. The drug activates the synthesis of interferon, as it contains a high concentration of polysaccharides. This stimulates the body's immune activity.

Dry purified extract from sea buckthorn leaves is a herbal preparation with antiviral, antimicrobial, interferon-inducing and immunomodulatory effects.

Vitamin products should contain antioxidants - vitamins E, C, rutin. You can take multivitamins, B vitamins, ascorbic acid.

Can herpes be cured in 1 day at home?

It is difficult to cure blisters on the lips quickly - in one day. The manifested herpes goes through different stages of development: the vesicles containing the serous fluid burst, forming crusts. The virus relapse cycle takes 7 to 9 days. Then, a pink spot remains at the site of inflammation, which turns pale after a while.

However, it is possible to prevent the clinical manifestation of the disease - blisters on the lips. Treatment should be started before the onset of a rash, at the initial stage of activation of the infection, when there is a burning sensation, itching, pain in the lips. The site of inflammation must be lubricated with an antiviral cream. Early treatment will prevent the development of herpes on the lips.

It is necessary to use a cream, ointment based on the same active ingredient as the tablets that are taken against the virus: for example, acyclovir-based tablets and acyclovir-based cream.

Table 2 lists topical agents for the treatment of herpesvirus.
table 2

Herbal preparations based on St. John's wort and licorice also have an effective effect against viruses. Also, for the treatment of herpes infection, the herbal cream Epigen Labial is used. It significantly reduces the recovery period of mucocutaneous inflammation, as it contains salts of glycyrrhizic acid.
With severe wetting, itching, Epigen cream, Allomedin gel, interferon in the form of a gel - Viferon are used.

There is an unconventional way to get rid of the herpes virus on the lips, but it should be used with caution: at the initial signs of an infection, heat a spoon in a mug of hot tea and attach it to the inflamed area on the lip. Such manipulations must be done several times. At the end of the procedure, lubricate the site of inflammation with Kalanchoe juice or cream (preferably antiviral). The method is simple and effective. Just do not burn healthy skin around the inflamed area.

Herpesvirus inflammation manifests itself not only as "harmless" vesicles on the lips, but also as severe chronic processes that affect not only organs, but also systems.

Herpes simplex virus is characterized by inflammation of the mucous membranes of the eyes, oral cavity, genital organs, and skin. But also Herpes simplex virus can provoke the development of inflammation of the facial nerve, tonsillo-pharyngitis, inflammation in the lymph nodes, widespread skin inflammation, chronic pneumonia, damage to the heart muscle (myocarditis), encephalitis.

Staying in neurons, herpesvirus inevitably affects the work of both the central and autonomic nervous systems. This leads to a breakdown in the synaptic transmission of mediators, an increase in the level of free radicals. This increases the risk of developing senile dementia (Alzheimer's disease) in a short - 3 - 6 months - period.
Do not underestimate the danger of infection. Do not self-medicate. If you have frequent herpes, consult your doctor.

(1 type). In the world, more than 90% of people are carriers of this infection. In everyday life, the disease is called "sore" or "cold". The recurrence of infection is associated with a decrease in the body's defenses as a result of hypothermia, overheating, colds and other causes that weaken the immune system. How to quickly cure herpes on the lips and whether it is possible to get rid of herpes in 1 day is the topic of this article.

Herpes simplex virus type 1 in medical practice is called labial. It affects the mucous membrane of the lips, rarely spreads to the mucous membrane or. The vast majority of people become infected during preschool age, by the age of 20 more than 90% of the world's population becomes a carrier of the virus. Once in the body, the causative agent of the disease usually does not harm health. Once having entered the cells, the virus remains there forever in a dormant state - it does not multiply, does not release toxins and enzymes. As a result, the affected cell can function normally.

At the time of the initial penetration of the infection into the body, a virus-specific clinical picture occurs. The general condition worsens, the body temperature rises, small bubbles (vesicles) with transparent contents appear on the lips. After recovery, relapses of the disease are possible during life against the background of a decrease in immunity. If herpes once jumped out on the lips, then a similar situation may happen again.

Herpes type 1 affects the mucous membranes of the lips and skin of the face.

A person in the acute phase of the disease or during the period of carriage is contagious to other people. At the same time, at the stage of carriage, people are perfectly healthy. That's why the virus is so prevalent all over the world. Children become infected from parents or peers. However, there is a positive side to this. With primary infection, a stable immunity develops, which helps to resist relapses of the disease and the severe course of the disease.

Ways of infection:

• airborne - when kissing, during coughing and sneezing;
• contact-household - through dirty hands, household items (tableware, forks, spoons), hygiene items (towel, toothbrush), toys;
• during breastfeeding.

The earlier immunity against infection is formed, the less likely it is to develop complications. In severe infections, internal organs and the brain are affected, which can be fatal.

Who is at risk for type 1 herpes?

Despite the fact that the virus is in the body of the vast majority of the world's population, it does not cause a health hazard. The normal functioning of the immune system allows you to quickly get rid of herpes on the lips during the initial infection. Subsequently, the immune system keeps the virus under control at the stage of a dormant state (carrier). 50% of carriers never develop a recurrence of the disease. Activation of the infection occurs against the background of a weakening of the immune system.

Risk factors for disease recurrence:

• infections (ARVI, acute respiratory infections, rubella, chickenpox, etc.);
• increased insolation (overheating of the body);
• local or general hypothermia;
• vitamin deficiency in the body (hypovitaminosis);
• trauma;
• severe emotional upheaval, chronic stress;
• lack of sleep;
• physical and mental fatigue;
• irrational nutrition;
• menstrual bleeding in women.

In the case of normal immunity, even an exacerbation of the disease does not have a negative effect on the body, and a quick treatment for herpes on the lips allows you to “drive” the pathogen into a dormant state. In a healthy person, the persistence of infection does not lead to serious consequences. Doctors say that a recurrence of the disease 1-2 times a year can be considered a variant of the norm. If the disease does not worsen for many years, then this circumstance testifies in favor of the good functioning of the immune system.

Primary infection and recurrence of the disease is dangerous for some categories of people, which include:

• patients with acquired and congenital immunodeficiencies, primarily HIV / AIDS;
• patients with cancer;
• patients taking immunosuppressive therapy (cytostatics, glucocorticoids, chemotherapy drugs, radiation exposure);
• pregnant women, especially in the first trimester of pregnancy.

In patients with immunodeficiencies, the infection causes a generalized form of the disease, in which the internal organs (lungs, liver, heart), the organ of vision, and the brain are affected. When the pathogen is activated, the risk of intrauterine infection of the fetus increases. This leads to miscarriages, congenital malformations, and retarded mental development of the child.

Clinical manifestations of infection

Clinical manifestations of herpevirus can be diagnosed even at home. Who doesn't know? The infection proceeds in several stages. You need to know the periods of the course of the disease in order to quickly get rid of herpes on the lips. Early initiation of therapy contributes to a mild course with minimal clinical manifestations.

prodromal period

The initial stage of virus activation is called the prodromal period. At this stage, the virions begin to multiply, destroy cells, enter the bloodstream and affect the epithelium of the upper or lower lip. The prodromal period is characterized by a deterioration in the general condition: an increase in temperature to 38 degrees, chills, increased fatigue, and drowsiness. Areas of redness, itching, tingling appear on the lips.

It is important at an early stage of recurrence of infection (the first 6-12 hours) to start specific treatment. This approach increases the chances of a quick treatment of herpes on the lips. Timely therapy allows you to get rid of herpes and eliminate the activation of the infectious process. With the right approach, the next stage of the disease can be avoided.

Stages of development of herpes.

The peak period of the disease

In the midst of an exacerbation of the disease, a small vesicular rash appears on the lips - bubbles 1-4 mm in diameter, which are filled with transparent serous contents. Vesicles can merge with each other into large conglomerates up to 10 mm in size. During this period, weakness, drowsiness persist, the temperature usually returns to normal. Patients are concerned about bursting sensations in the area of ​​the rash, itching and tingling. After 1-3 days, the vesicles open, crusts form in place of the vesicles.

During the peak of the disease, patients are contagious to others, which requires compliance with hygiene rules to prevent the spread of the pathogen. It is necessary to use individual dishes, towels, handkerchiefs, avoid close contact with loved ones, exclude kisses and sexual contacts. At the stage of the height of the infection, the treatment of herpes on the lips must be continued, but the therapy will not be as effective.

convalescence period

Granulations form under the crusts on the mucous membrane of the lips - the wounds heal without a trace. Scars can form with improper treatment, self-opening of blisters, cauterization of mucosal defects with alcohol-containing preparations. During the recovery period, crusts should not be removed. With proper therapy, the crusts will fall off within 2-3 days. The general condition improves, working capacity and daily activity are restored. To remove herpes in the first days after the exacerbation of the disease allows timely treatment and the selection of the necessary medications.

Medicines to get rid of the virus:
   • famvir (famciclovir) is one of the most effective antiviral drugs;
   • valaciclovir;
   • acyclovir - has the lowest antiviral activity;
   • medicines for topical use (lubricating areas of the rash) - ointments bonafton, zovirax, acyclovir.
2. Healing drugs to improve the repair of damaged tissues and antiseptic drugs to prevent secondary infection (suppuration). Apply in the stage of the height of the disease and recovery. Topical preparations:
   • alpizarin;
   • dexapeenthenol;
   • miramistin;
   • chlorhexidine.

Prevention of disease recurrence

To prevent an exacerbation of the disease is much more effective and safer for health than to treat. Prevention of the disease is simple and accessible to everyone. General health measures will prevent the activation of the virus in the body and strengthen the immune system.

An active lifestyle is a disease prevention.

1. 1. 1. Rational nutrition - a fortified diet with daily consumption of berries, vegetables, herbs, fruits.
      2. Active lifestyle - physical education and sports.
      3. Refusal of addictions - nicotine, alcohol, drug addiction.

People are interested in how to treat herpes on the lips and body quickly at home. They read thematic literature and surf the Internet in search of information that will help get rid of the virus and eliminate the symptoms of the disease.

It is unfortunate, but there are no medications that will permanently relieve herpes. After entering the human body, the virus remains for life.

Therapy is focused on suppressing the reproduction of the virus. As a result, the frequency of relapses decreases, the risk of complications decreases and the external symptoms of the disease are weakened.

The effect is achieved in ways that involve the use of medications, the choice of which is the responsibility of the doctor.

• The main method of treating herpes involves the use of drugs that prevent the reproduction of the virus. Pharmacies offer solutions, tablets and topical products.
• The drug, dosage and duration of administration are chosen individually, depending on the type of herpes, the frequency of relapses, complications, and the course of the disease.
• The reason for the recurrence of the disease is considered to be a decrease in immunity. This is facilitated by diseases, stress, overwork and other factors. Therefore, the treatment of the virus is primarily focused on increasing immunity.
• A protective protein called interferon, which is produced by the human body, and drugs that increase the level of its production are used. In the fight against herpes, immunomodulatory drugs, including cycloferon and licopid, have also been used.
• Vaccines that stimulate the immune system can also eliminate the symptoms of the disease. They include an inactivated culture of the virus, which causes the body to give the disease an immune response.
• Injections are given at the end of treatment in order to form a strong immunity to the virus and stop repeated manifestations for a long time.

The listed methods will not help to get rid of herpes forever, but they help to make life more comfortable by getting rid of the unpleasant symptoms of the disease.

The virus is transmitted by contact. If you "cold" your lips, give up kisses, give yourself separate dishes and a clean towel. Otherwise, herpes will become a family disease. Avoid touching the rashes with your hands, especially if the blisters burst, otherwise the infection will get into the eyes.

• After the appearance of signs of the disease, lubricate the bubbles with antiviral ointments three times a day. Additionally, take medicinal drugs by mouth.
• Vaccines help to eliminate the causes of herpes and prevent recurrences. An excellent effect is given by general strengthening agents together with interferon inducers.

The use of medications is accompanied by the occurrence of side effects, including vomiting, nausea, peeling and acute pain. It all depends on the type of medication used.

If herpes manifested itself during pregnancy, it is allowed to treat using the listed drugs only as directed by a doctor and under strict control. It is impossible to postpone treatment on the back burner, otherwise the virus will negatively affect the development of the child.
