Dontknow

Thank you so much for the information. I think the doctor was very disappointed with her and in return didn't test for the type. We are looking for a new doctor, hopefully one that will provide some guidance. She just had her first OB. I will order an extra bottle of acyclovir. When you have an OB do you take the prescription as prescribed or just take it for a few days? Also, do you think the acyclovir cream is needed? It's very expensive and I'm not sure it's needed with the tablet. I just feel so bad she has to live with this virus. It makes me very sad and I need to learn how to cope with it because I'm sure it's going to be hard for during an OB. Everything I've read tells me the second one isn't as bad as the first one. How true is that?

Hi. My daughter was just diagnosed with H. Not sure what type because her doctor said that didn't matter it was on your genitals and you will have to deal with this monthly. This has been devastating to me. Is there any other parent that was devastated by this? I'm just trying to understand how many breakouts will occur? Do I purchase acyclovir in advance? Any guidance anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
