How To Get Rid of HSV-1 symptoms
HSV-1 symptoms, such as cold sores, can be managed effectively with antiviral medication. Antiviral medications like valacyclovir and acyclovir are most effective when taken at the first sign of symptoms, such as tingling or itching around the mouth. These medications work by targeting the virus directly, reducing the severity of outbreaks and speeding up recovery. For localized relief, topical creams such as Acyclovir Cream can soothe discomfort and help heal sores faster.
