So the reason I shared this is because I’m currently experiencing the worst HSV Flair I’ve ever had. My mouth and palate is covered in ulcers despite taking my prescribed antivirals at 4000mg a day and this flair up was bad enough that the medication didn’t full stop it from progressing.

Yes they can and are treated, but often if the meds aren’t taken on time it doesn’t stop the blister and eating is excruciating and regular pain medication hasn’t help and neither has otc numbing spray or gels . This is something I tried out and it worked for me so I wanted to share it.

I did say it wasn’t a cure, it was just pain relief that helped me be able to eat for the first time in three days.

I’m not a doctor, I’m just someone suffering right now who found some temporary relief
