Protection Against Herpes Aggravation
If herpes has already occurred, the doctor will prescribe antiviral medications to the patient for daily use. Doctors suggest avoiding its spread [9] during the exacerbation of the disease. To prevent skin contact with other people, do not use common items – towels, lip ointments, lipstick – for this reason. In addition, hygienic steps should be taken by the patient and the hands washed as much as possible.
To prevent the recurrence of herpes;
First, it is important you dress warmly. It is best to wear a long jacket or fur coat, comfortable shoes and socks in order to avoid the recurrence of herpes. Also use and hat, mittens, and scarf, if necessary. Preventing hypothermia is safer than being nursed for two weeks.
Second, watch your nutrition. You will save yourself from vitamin deficiency by consuming fruits and vegetables. Pay careful attention to vitamins A, C and E, respectively. The immune system will be boosted and sustained with foods like bananas, tangerines, ginger, persimmons, and other nutrient-rich foods.
Thirdly, exercising more and playing sports are worthwhile. Winter is good for physical sports and outdoor recreation. Those who don’t enjoy snowboarding and skiing can simply take walks and try to heat up.
Fourth, have a good rest. The immune system is also compromised by stress and nervous fatigue. When you feel really tired, don’t miss holiday or take on a lot of jobs. Herpes occurs not only in winter, but in summer as well. If it is provoked by the sun’s rays, use sunscreen before going outside.
