HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Oral herpes is very common, the majority of the population would have this virus.

There is no medication that would stop the symptoms instantly but the anti virals that can be used would help to shorten the course of the illness.
Examples of antivirals are valacyclovir , acyclovir

These are available in topical or oral form.

Anti inflammatory pain killers such as aspirin, naproxen or cataflam would help to reduce the discomfort.

You may need a prescription to obtain them from your pharmacy.

I hope this helps
