Herpes. Treatment and prevention

To do this, use local ointments and creams, as well as tablets. They do not require long-term use, however, after the first occurrence of herpes should be in the medicine cabinet constantly. As a rule, the symptoms of the disease manifest suddenly, and the sooner the treatment begins, the sooner it will end.

If you have herpes? Treatment medication will be effective with such ointments as Zovirax, Famvir and others. These drugs can not only bring to naught the symptoms, but also reduce the number of relapses.

Means of traditional medicine, like drugs, are quite effective. The only difference is the time through which the symptoms will be completely eliminated. As a rule, medicines begin to act immediately, gradually reducing the rash. Folk treatment is not carried out for several days, after which passes herpes. Treatment at home can be as follows:

• Bubbles should be lubricated at least three times per day with valocordin, treatment should last several days until the symptoms disappear;
