Oral herpes can generally be treated with ribavirin spray, watermelon frost spray, or Koulishuang. Maintain good local hygiene and avoid consuming spicy or irritating foods. For local application, use chlortetracycline ointment or oral inflammation spray in the mouth. Pay attention to moderate diet; for severe cases, bingbor powder may be used for pain relief. Rinse the mouth with mild salt water after meals. Patients are advised to use medications under the guidance of a doctor and avoid self-medication.
