I Have A HSV Outbreak, Not My First. This On

Posted on Sat, 30 Nov 2019

Question: Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry about, start oral antivirals

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query and there is nothing to worry about.
There is no permanent cure for herpes and it can recur.
You can take a course of oral antiviral medicine like tablet aciclovir 400 mg thrice daily for 5 days.
This will help in quick resolution of the herpes outbreak.
