Dealing with the herpes outbreak or a symptoms once you have gotten them can be done in various ways. It is possible to make yourself feel better, but you won't find a cure to completely heal you. Not letting a symptoms of the herpes outbreak get started in the first place makes a better solution. During herpes outbreak and symptoms seasons, you can take extra precaution, but all year-round, there are preventative measures you can take to keep healthy. Don't get sick and keep yourself healthy by doing some of these things.
Switching to things that are disposable, once someone around you gets sick, will keep it from spreading. Paper cups, plates, and plastic utensils being used is a good idea, when sickness hits the family. It is easy to pass on germs when dishes are being touched by each other family member, so using disposable items might not be the best for the environment, but a good prevention measure. Germs will not be spread as easily when you are using dishes and utensils that are disposable, which you can buy as recyclable. This is especially important if you have a child who is sick or who might want to share a cup with someone who has the herpes outbreak.
Clean up all of your household surfaces clean. Any number of wipes that are disposable can be purchased for cleaning all of the surfaces in the household, and sanitizing them, also. Countertops, door handles, and faucets are just a few of the things that get touched regularly that should be sanitized and cleaned by wiping them down several times a day. Soap and water can be used to clean all of these surfaces, but they would be sanitized better with a disinfecting solution. This way germs won't be hanging out on them and increasing your chances of getting sick. When you are around people who have herpes symptoms or the herpes outbreak, your immune system becomes compromised, so at this time you need to be even more diligent in your cleaning.
