Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
Herpes is a viral infection transmitted by droplet infection and nuclei by the infected individual. The herpes infection is highly contagious and self limiting disease which subside by itself.
As your husband is broke with an outbreak of herpes, he should be isolated during the catarrhal stage to prevent the spreading of disease.
For his symptoms I would suggest him to follow
1.Apply calamine lotion to prevent itching.
2.Oral antiviral drugs like Valcyclovir, three time a day for atleast 5 days.This drug will not cure the disease but it will halt the progression of the disease.
3.Oral NSAIDs like Ibuprofen, will help to reduce the pain.
4.Multi Vitamin will boost up the immunity.
Thank you.
