Home Treatment and Anti Viral Medications

Herpes is not a really serious health disease. It is just a recurring problem that can cause irritation and some pain because of the recurring possibilities. However this may cause some psychological pain as well.

Some people will feel disgusted by a person who has herpes and may not want to sleep with him or her. So some people regarding their knowledge about their situation will not tell their sex partner and just risk infecting her. That is also why some people feel ashamed about having herpes and would rather have home treatment or remedy that they have researched.

Home treatment for herpes also can not remove the herpes as well. They are only also capable of relieving the pain, reduce the risk of recurring outbreaks and help a person cope up with this lifelong condition.

To be able to reduce discomfort from the sores, try taking warm sitz bath or wash the area 3-4 times a day. Dry the area with a towel or hair dryer when not taking sitz bath. A hair dryer will be better to use as it will be more comfortable. Also wear underwear that are made of cotton as it will help absorb moisture better than those made from synthetic.

To reduce the risk of herpes recurring, having a healthier lifestyle and habits helps them in recurring. Healthier habits such as eating a more balanced diet, exercising more and getting enough rest helps in reducing the recurrence of herpes. Avoiding overexposure to the sun, stress, irritation in the genital area and fatigue will also prevent more recurrence.

Despite various ways to treat herpes in your own home, medication is still the best way to treat it. The recommended anti-viral medications are Zovirex, Famvir and Valtrex. However the topical form of Zovirex is not highly recommended as it offers little benefit in treating herpes.

The people who should consider taking the medication every day are those that have herpes recur at least 6 times a year. People with herpes should keep medication on hand always. Antiviral medication works best when taken immediately when symptoms are seen.

When pregnant, always check with your doctor first what is the best antiviral medication.

People who have already impaired immune systems are more likely needed to take the medication every day. They would also need to consult with their doctor as to what is the best medication to take, because they might have developed some resistance with these antiviral medications.
