I take 1 gm of valtrex (valacyclovir) daily but yet my tongue feels its on fire i can see them popping up anything i can do to not feel any pain of mouth sores?

Aphthous ulcers: Those are likely to be aphthous ulcers and not herpes. These are not viral and therefore not responsive to valtrex (valacyclovir). Dilute hydrogen peroxide rinses can help. I also use chloraseptic lozenges as they have Benzocaine to numb then and give relief.
