Cold sores, Coronavirus and dull fever
Why 'Dull Fever' Develops and How to Prevent Annoying Scabs
Herpes viruses are parasites, that is, they settle in the DNA of our cells, camouflaging themselves and without causing us problems, often for years. They are said to be latent. They remain in this situation until a new factor triggers them. Then we speak of reactivation pathology.
Among the viruses we normally live with are those of the herpes virus family, in particular herpes labialis which causes annoying cold sores on the lips.
According to System Medicine, health is the result of the balance of the person-system, made up of physical and immaterial elements. In fact, in the case of herpetic diseases, it is certainly true that the symptoms appear when, for any reason, even psychological, the immune system is no longer able to cope with the virus.
This is even more true if the body is under attack by other viruses such as Coronaviruses.
At this point, different symptoms appear on the lips, skin, and genital areas, depending on the strain of herpes virus.
A flu-like condition caused by a Coronavirus and in particular by Sars-Cov2 can certainly weaken our defenses, favoring the appearance of herpes simplex 1 or cold sores, the so-called deaf fever.
Just as recently, general practitioners are recording a sort of epidemic of Shingles, as the post-vaccination herpes zoster infection is called.
Symptoms of dull fever
The symptoms on the skin are more or less extensive edema on the intercostal part of the body and on the shoulders, sometimes up to the face or eyes. There is pain, itching, deep discomfort. The area becomes red and covered with pustules filled with liquid that torment day and night. In the most serious cases, the sensation is of being continuously stung by splinters of glass. Scratching is dangerous because the pustules could become infected and healing can be very slow.
Herpes zoster is caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus and affects the spinal or cranial nerves, which is why the suffering is profound.
Dull fever caused by cold sores is undoubtedly the most common complaint when you are affected by a coronavirus, adding discomfort to the flu malaise.
And unfortunately even in this hot season there are those who get sick with Sars-Cov 2 or Covid 19 sometimes right after the vaccine. Maybe the coronavirus infection is asymptomatic, but that doesn't mean our body doesn't suffer the effects. Not only that. In some subjects, the syndrome called 'Long Covid' occurs, a complex situation of poor health that lasts for many months after the infection and is characterized by tiredness, air hunger, exhaustion, neurological disorders with difficulty concentrating and memory loss. With the added tingling on the lips due to the dull fever.
There are international studies that demonstrate that Covid 19 creates an ideal situation for the activation of latent herpes viruses, that is, in individuals who have already contracted herpes but without symptoms. Other viruses that reactivate in relation to Covid 19 infection, in addition to those of the herpes family, are cytomegalovirus and Epstein-Barr virus.
These are insidious enemies, difficult to identify because the symptoms are abnormal and very nonspecific, affecting the central nervous system, the cardiovascular system and the immune system.
Therefore, it is good to pay maximum attention to staying healthy with the necessary prevention. Against herpes viruses there are excellent natural formulas in the pharmacy that are effective and without collateral damage. They can be purchased without a prescription but it is always better to consult your trusted doctor first.
