A member asked:
Please tell me, could you fight herpes early on?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Herpes: The best way to treat herpes is to initiate antiviral therapy within 72 hours of diagnosis. This will give the best chance of the medication to be effective in decreasing the symptoms and amount of time an episode can last.
