We do NOT treat a minor infection with the only anti viral we have. Find a dentist with a Laser and have it irradiated for a few seconds. Go to the pharmacy and get a Styptic Pencil ( the white thing we paint on our faces when we cut ourselves shaving ) and use it on the area. Wet it with a drop of water first.

So I saw; that is one of the regrets I have about canning the Laser: you could dis-inflame viral lesions overnight by just irradiating them for a few seconds. No chemical, no anti-virals. I still don't think exposing minor viral eruptions (which are often already strile when the peak inflammatory phase ensues) to acyclovir and running the risk of forcing them to mutate. Stomp SP SignatureNot a real Addy, yet >> There is more than one anti-viral out now. >> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >Stomp >SP Agree that some anti-virals should be reserved for something like hepC/B infections. Ribavirin is another A/V that comes to mind. HSV1/2 can be quite debilitating in some patients and acyclovir shortens the duration of the outbreak. It should not be withheld from those who suffer frequent and serious outbreaks. Virii mutate often enough naturally, I see no reason to withhold them in appropriate circumstances. Fart -- W_B wubbabubbazG@RBAGEyahoo.com Take out the G'RBAGE >I got one on my botton lip thanks to my extraction of #20. > Any good home remedies For prevention next time you get dental work: 1000 mg L-Lysine three times per day until symptoms subside. Begin taking them before the dental appointment, or at the prodromal stage (when tingling and itching begins before the outbreak). http://www.ajhp.org/cgi/reprint/58/4/298.pdf After the outbreak, there are a few things that will speed healing, but none give immediate relief. I like the topicals like Denavir and Zovirax. I don't have much experience with docosanol (aka--Abreva) available OTC. Anybody use it with success? |
