Dr. Zhang Liwen
Oral herpes is associated with factors such as viral infection and diet. It commonly occurs in patients with tumors, and herpes lesions often contain pus with noticeable redness and swelling around them. Consuming strongly flavored foods may also lead to cheilitis and blistering. Most individuals may experience constipation. Patients are advised to pay attention to their diet, focusing on vegetables and fruits, and minimizing the use of seasonings.
