The drugs that can effectively fight against herpes virus are: acyclovir, vanamycin and famciclovir, but they must be used under the guidance of a doctor. Medication can shorten the course of the disease, promote healing of the rash, reduce viral emissions, and decrease infectivity. It is important to note that immune agents such as interferon and interleukin, which are advertised as “effective”, do not have a definite effect in preventing recurrence. In addition to medication, patients with genital herpes should pay attention to a light diet, moderate rest, physical exercise, and avoid possible triggers for recurrence – ultraviolet radiation, exertion, colds, fever, and nervousness. I would like to emphasize that you should not drink alcohol during the treatment period, because drinking alcohol can cause the immunity of the body to decline and lead to the recurrence of genital herpes. As long as you adhere to the regular treatment, the probability of recurrence of genital herpes will gradually decrease, and most patients can no longer be associated with drugs. I hope my advice can give you some help.
