I feel pain consciously. Accompanied by fever. Headache, fatigue, the doctor diagnosed as herpes zoster, in order to prevent you from this situation, I would like to introduce whether herpes zoster is infectious.

Is herpes zoster contagious

First, the occurrence of herpes zoster is due to the decline of the body's immunity. There are many inducements, such as cold, overwork, some infectious diseases, malignant tumors, AIDS, systemic lupus erythematosus, radiotherapy, burns and the use of certain drugs (such as immunosuppressants and adrenal cortisol, antimony, arsenic, etc.). It can be seen that people may suffer from varicella or herpes zoster successively in their life, or only one of them may occur, or they may be infected with the virus without any manifestation.

Second: there is the virus in the blister fluid of patients with herpes zoster. If children who are not immune to the virus come into contact with the blister fluid, they may be infected and have chickenpox, but this situation is relatively rare.

Third: herpes zoster will not cause an epidemic in the population. Patients with herpes zoster do not need special isolation, but close contact with children without immunity to the virus should be avoided.

matters needing attention

For patients with genital herpes, the necessary diet is necessary to prevent recurrence. If often eat spicy hair, smoking and drinking are not conducive to recovery, especially drinking can promote the recurrence of the disease, aggravate the symptoms of the disease, so, after the disease must not drink. Eating foods rich in vitamins and proteins is helpful to the recovery of diseases, such as fresh vegetables, fruits, milk and eggs.
