Depends...: You need to see a physician to examine where this infection is, and what can be done for it. You may need an antiviral such as acyclovir. If the sores are in your mouth, consuming very acidic foods will only serve to inflame them. In the meantime, avoid intimate contact where there is a risk of your partner touching the infected area.
