My mother has been herpes for a week, use acyclovir but successfully recovered, what should my mother do?

Clarification..: The above statement says she has recovered but the fact that you are asking what to do makes me assume she hasn't. It all depends if she had a culture or lab done to confirm the diagnosis. Another possibility is resistance to the medication used so she might need alternative treatment.

What kind of herpes: If she has genital herpes she may require maintenance dose acyclovir to prevent outbreaks but if she has oral herpes may just relax.
