oral herpes question

[babykate]

hey guys!!

 

i have a question. will my valtrex Rx help with my oral herpes?? i have canker sores a lot (like 3-5x a yr) and i'm currently goin thru an OB after my hsv1 genital OB has cleared up (ugh i'm experiencing soo much pain ya'll)..soo would it be ok to use my Rx for this too?? since i have oral OB's a lot do ya'll think i should just go ahead and get on supressive therapy (my genital hsv is also hsv1)..?

 

thnx!!

Yes, for sure! All herpes medications work on both strains of herpes, HSV-1 and HSV-2, wherever they happen to show up on the body, either orally, genitally or otherwise.

Yup - I use my Acyclovir whenever I feel my oral H coming up - I find if I hit it hard with the drugs for a couple days I can often knock it right down before it becomes too obvious.
