How To Treat Herpes In Mouth ?

Is there a medication I can buy over the counter to treat herpes in the mouth? It is painful to eat and it is affecting other parts of my body. I have oral herpes, not genital, and the blisters are on my tongue. A doctor gave nystatin instead of what I needed. Aclyvir worked before, but I need something now, over the counter.
