Not Really: Anything available over the counter will only give temporary relief and only make it feel a little better for a short time. It is best to get prescription from your md.

Herpes: Prescription oral antiviral medication such as Valtrex (valacyclovir) are typically recommended for herpes outbreaks . Consult your physician.
