Can HSV-1 get into your nerves through lips?

Posted , 4 users are following.

(I have been diagnosed with severe h pylori infection but the GI and other doctors said your upper back and leg parts shouldn't hurt. I have no stomach pain but abdominal. Took some antibiotics and Valtrex heavy dose shot, 2000mg 4 pills (1000mg each) twice 2 pills each time in one day about 2 weeks ago. On same difference antibiotics again for h pylori.

So in feb, i had a staph infection, but then i saw herpes break out on left corner of lips that got infested by the staph infection or taken over.

Now my abdominal is sending pain pulses all over my body (lumbar spinal cord infection?).

So a hsv-1 reactivation with h pylori is killing me?

How do you get tested for hsv in the spinal cord? blood test? ct with contrast dye?

      Yes... big cold sore on left corner of lips after very short oral-vagina contact (a few secs) a very long time ago (7years+) now reactivation because my the veins right above my lips are red swollen and hurt, after antibiotics, still red/swollen without the hurt. maybe it went through there, i heard bacteria infection like h pylori which i have can reactivate HSV or other infections. constant yellow scabs falling off on my upper lips and in nose everyday.

      nerve system malfunctioning causing pain and trouble urine and bowel movements (worse than urine)

      sounds like u have impetigo rather than hsv that forms yellow scabs that fall off its a contagious skin infection
