Hello.
Thank you for contacting HCM.

I would strongly recommend that you consult your local physician for your grandmother's problem......first of all to confirm the outhbreak as Herpes.....and secondly for the prescription of drugs in accordance to your grandmother's status.Also as your grandmother is bedridden and due to her age there is a probability of Herpes spreading to the other body parts which can cause complications.

TREATMENT:
Antiviral drugs(tab. Acyclovir)
painkiller mouthwashes for the lesions in mouth.

PRECAUTIONS:
As this disease is highly contagious care has to be taken of hygiene. thelesions are not be touched and if contact occurs hands should be thoroughly washed with soap.
Physical contact should be avoided.
There should be no sharing of things like cups, spoons or other cooking utensils....towels or clothing etc.

I hope this answers your query.
Please feel free to contact HCM again if you have any concerns.
Wishing your grandmother good health.
