This is today's question from a woman who is feeding a child and has a herpes on her nose. Oscillococcinum did not help her, and now she is worried about infecting the baby.
The herpes virus settles inside us forever and from time to time crawls out on different parts of the body. Common cold sores are more likely to appear somewhere around the mouth.
Oscillococcinum is a dummy that makes no sense to remember.
A mother can only infect a child with herpes through direct contact. That is, a bubble should appear, which you need to touch the child or pick up herpetic eruptions, and then do not wash your hands.
The herpes virus is not excreted in breast milk.
Therefore, it is enough to cover herpetic eruptions with something and you can breastfeed the baby.
Herpes on the chest
Herpes can occur on any part of the body. If the herpes is on the breast, then you cannot breastfeed the baby and you cannot give him milk expressed from this breast. Because when you express, the virus will almost certainly pass into your breast milk.
You need to feed only healthy breast. Herpetic eruptions on a sore chest must be carefully covered. After the rash has healed, you can breastfeed again.
Basic moments:
- Cover up the cold sores.
- Feed only with healthy breast.
- Wash your hands thoroughly.
