A member asked:
Does anyone have experience with urine therapy for oral herpes?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No. : Swallowing small amounts of ones own urine for any medical reason has no scientific basis. Oral herpes is a virus that hides in the nerve tissues of the head and face, and trauma, sun exposure, or stres will cause it to manifest. If it is diagnosed in the tingling, or prodrome, then antiviral medicine can be prescribed. Otherwise, the lesion clears up in 7-14 days.
