HI how are you thanks to have trust on Health care magic ,genital Herpes is caused by V-Z virus ,and it is a contagious disease ,when it happens repeatedly it is called Recurrent genital herpes ,It is very painful condition ,there are chances of secondary bacterial infections so your doctor has prescribed you Fucidin ,you can use Fucidin safely .
for pain and swelling you should use Dolonex 1 bd x 05 days along Aciloc 150 mgs bd with Antiviral drug prescribed by your Doctor . Take care Bye Dr Prakash Roy
