Many people carry herpes all their lives without even knowing it.
According to the World Health Organization, approximately 70-80% of people are infected with herpes.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to get rid of the herpes virus: after it enters the body, it remains in the nerve nodes (especially in the trigeminal nerve area) and is there permanently.
Under the influence of negative factors, the disease “wakes up” and manifests itself in the form of blisters that appear on the lips or along the trigeminal nerve.
Why does herpes occur?
There are many reasons why the virus becomes active.
It is generally accepted that this is facilitated by hypothermia of the body, but sometimes an exacerbation occurs, on the contrary, as a result of overheating, and sometimes it is associated with a weakening of the immune system.
Therefore, the best medicine is to work on strengthening the immune system.
How to Minimize the Risk of Herpes Outbreak
Perhaps the surest way to prevent the appearance of rashes is to get vaccinated.
Vaccination is permitted during the remission stage, but not earlier than 2 weeks after the clinical manifestations of the infection have disappeared. As with any intervention of this kind, a preliminary consultation with a doctor is required.
To strengthen the body as a whole, experts advise resorting to vitamin therapy and biogenic stimulants - you can also find out more about this from your doctor.
People suffering from viral diseases should maintain a healthy lifestyle, get enough sleep, maintain a work and rest schedule, and avoid stress.
Nutrition should be complete: the diet must include fresh vegetables and fruits.
