Oral Herpes (HSV 1) outbreak post Run

2020-01-10 18:54:02
Hello, I had ran a 21km run last Sunday. Last few kms few quite exhausting. 3 days after, I had high fever (running upto 102°), feeling extremely cold and mouth ulcers started popping up. Fever has been treated with Paracetamol (650mg) and is under control (still have slight fever and weakness). But the mouth ulcers has been troubling (atleast 3-4 on tongue and 3-4 in upper walls or inner cheek walls). I believe this is Oral Herpes (can someone confirm based on above symptoms) and also what precautions/treatment should be followed?

Hello.. This looks like aphthous ulcers, precipitatd by stressful event of running. Apply dologel for pain relief before taking food and metrogyl gel three times a day.
