Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, D
The herpes simplex virus type I can be activated to cause a cold sore by exposure to stress, sun, initiation of menses, and fever. Food allergies do not activate the virus as a rule.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C
Use of oatmeal, baking soda, and baking powder is soothing. Adding oil to the bath water after the child has soaked for a while makes the oil application more effective. Items with any fragrance should be avoided as well as lanolin-based products. Many dermatologists advise minimal bathing.
