Oral herpes is easy to break and ulcers appear, so it is particularly painful to eat, so the children refuse to eat, drool and other symptoms. Therefore, it is suggested to eat some liquid food.

Oral cavity: oral mucosal rash appears earlier, with pain, like blisters scattered in the mouth the size of mung bean, with red halo around, mainly in the tongue and cheek, and often occurs on the side of lip and teeth. At the same time, the blisters in the mouth soon burst to form small gray dots or a gray white film. There is a red halo around the blisters. Under the gray white film, we can see the pitted or flaky erosive surface. After 2-4 days, it will be absorbed and dried to form dark brown scab.
