A member asked:
If you drink water and only water during a herpes break out, will it not sting as bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Herpes Break Out: Drinking water during a herpes break out has nothing to do with symptoms. The best treatment is oral medication like Valtrex (valacyclovir) and topical medication like zovirax cream.
