Avatar f tn their provider needs to better educate himself on acyclovir. we start children on oral acyclovir suppressively from month of age upward as needed. no need for any labs or anything either from it. the arginine/lysine theory never panned out outside of the lab actually. They are even using arginine to treat herpes in research now. Children drink a lot of milk which balances it out anyways. at this point I'd seek out the advice of a pediatric dermatologist for your son.
Avatar m tn Touching the zone, there is a bit of inflammation. Into each grain, it appeared an ampoule, containing a transparent liquid. Throughout these days, the grains has changed and the ampoules have disappeared, but the affection is still there. I went to the pharmacy and they diagnosed it as an herpes, and gave me a cream based in aciclovir 5%. I've been using it these days, but seems to not be working so far. Should I continue with the cream? Any other tip? Thanks.
Avatar f tn s anxiety. He gave me a prescription for acyclovir and said that it was more a treatment for me than him, because it didn't bother my son, just me. I have the prescription with refills still sitting on my fridge, unfilled as of yet. I don't want to expose him to prescription meds if it's just not necessary, but I don't know what to do. We went another 3 1/2 weeks before this last one came up. It's number 7 since September.
Avatar f tn For about 2 years now I have had irritated red flakey skin inside my left nostrill only. It sometimes appears to have bumps in the same area but they are not zits bc when squeezed clear liquid comes out of them. This area will also crack to.I already take acyclovir for herpes so I don't think it could be that or else the medication would heal my nose as well. What could this be and how should I treat it?
Avatar f tn About 3 weeks ago I noticed a hard lump on the corona. A week later a tiny hole (like a needle hole) appeared behind the lump behind the glans. It was draining clear fluid. A few days later the hole ulcerated and got deeper and wider. So far all tests have come back negative. Syphillis was negative but was treated anyway. Bacterial and herpes culture were negative. A few weeks later and still no idea. Internal medicine, dermatology can't diagnose it yet.
Avatar m tn The third day it seemed like a little clear liquid came out although there are not blisters. The patch did open a little bit and has since scabbed over. Been scabbed over since thursday morning. I would go visit a health provider but all the STD clinics were booked out the whole week last week. This bump has not hurt or itched.( I think when it does it is my anxiety) My question is does this sound like herpes. I have been tested in the past and have been negative for HSV 2. Now my exposure.
Avatar f tn After one week I saw on my head of penis red irregulary shaped red spot. Big. Maybe on 1/3 of all penis head. In one week there appears yellow liquid. And red rush on all penis shaft. I went to doctor and told that it is definitely herpes and I don't need test. And prescribed acyclovir. I told that I definitely need test . And he made pcr swab and Igg and igm test for 1&2 herpes.Everything come back negative. He told probably I just got it and I need time.
Avatar m tn It appears another lesion has appear ( or it seem like is the same one - at the right underside of the glan of my penis) and it seem there to have some liquid again. I swab the area with the liquid (my physician give me a culture swab in case if i have more symptoms) and will drop off to my physician. I wil ask my physician to do a PCR test. The area is still somewhat red and raw and there is no pain, itchiness, tingling or burning sensation.
Avatar m tn d give me acyclovir as a precautionary. My std test came back with negative hsv2 and elevated levels for hsv1. Between the time of them telling me results I got the clear liquid bumps at the base of penis. They told me to come back when I was back in town as I travel a lot for work. When I arrived back in town, I had already gone through the prescription they gave me which made the skin sores go away, but days after more appeared.
Avatar n tn I think I am getting paranoic and I wash my hand all the time even when I am not toching my genitals. Today some lite brown liquid came one of my vagina and touch muy hand. I am friking out because it iches now a bit. Can someone let me know their opinion. I have read so much but still I am very concern.
Avatar m tn First it stats by itching then when I scratch about 2 sores appear then as time goes on they become 3 then 4, when they burst a clear liquid comes out and little blood. there are no other symptoms and I have taken blood tests for STI's and they came out negative but still im having those sores that disappear every time after treatment and after a few week they reappear. There are no penile discharge. What exaclty may be the cauz of these?
Avatar f tn I stopped taking acyclovir in December 2011. I have had numerous outbreaks like once a month or every couple of months. I have had HSV2 four years and four months now. My last outbreak was maybe eight weeks ago. Shouldn't my outbreaks decrease since I have had the virus for some time.I would like to know is that too many outbreaks to be experiencing.
Avatar m tn i started taking acyclovir a few days ago for the first time for a mild cold sore breakout. 2 days after i started, the cold sores got more intense, and 2 new huge cold sores came up out of nowhere. i have 3 more days left of the medication, and i'm going to keep taking it, but what should i do? these cold sores are not going away, and it seems like its getting worse! so done with these friggin things...
Avatar m tn Like most I cannot afford Valtrex any more. I have switched to Acyclovir. I've used it effectively for the couple of outbreaks but it seems to be taking considerably longer. I am taking L-Lysene as a suppressor and only take the Acyclovir at the first sign of an outbreak. I was taking 1000mg Valtrex at onset and then 500mg twice a day and everything was clear in 3 days. To get the same effectiveness from Acyclovir how much should I be taking daily during out breaks?
1302779 tn?1287405029 the doses you take for recurrences do tend to give the headaches :( do you take advil or anything along with the acyclovir knowing that it's likely to cause you to get a headache?
Avatar m tn Does Acyclovir make anyone else feel completely terrible? I get terrible headaches, dizzy, diarrhea and feel just awful. im not sure which is worse sometimes.
Avatar f tn Ive had pretty trademark symptoms of herpes constantly for about 7 months. Seemingly liquid filled bumps on red bases/rash on the penis and lower spine/left buttock pain on days before they arise. They never burst, however, and are rarely painful. But acyclovir seems to work to reduce the rashes faster. I was tested twice for igg and igm at 6 months post exposure and again around 7. Both were negative. The partner i would have received it from also tested negative with the same test.
Avatar f tn In 2018, I was bitten severely by unidentified bugs. A day later I went to the bathroom but when I rubbed skin with sponge my skin got swollen as if bitten by multiple bugs. I shivered uncontrollably, had extreme temperature, and skin itched badly. I was admitted and treated. Symptoms subsided but since then my face, head, entire body has been very itchy till now. At times, I notice parts of my face like eye brow region shaking uncontrollably.
Avatar f tn I found out i have genital herpes, since then im on suppressive acyclovir but my question pertains to a clear liquid discharge im having that causes me to wear a pad like i am having my period. it is completely clear, no smell but there is tons of it even to gushing. Is this normal, i am having an outbreak now and have been on the med for 22 days with it not getting any better at all. i burn and itch but there is no yeast as i did go to my dr but had to see the nurse..
Avatar n tn t last. It does clear up as the outbreak dissipates. Would suggest you add liquid Ly-sine to your regime for herpes meds to keep outbreaks at bay. This with your valtrex/acyclovir does a fairly good job in controlling outbreaks. However, there is no forgiveness if you forget your regime! Much like the implant is with you for life, so is your susceptibility elevation. Suggest you keep a weather eye on your health!
Avatar m tn Within hours I noticed what I later found out to be lesions, a clear liquid from the tip of my penis came out, the next day the foreskin on my penis swelled up and two tiny red bumps formed. Earlier that day I went to see a nurse at my college before the red bumps formed and before the swelling, she did not believe it was herpes but had an STD panel done and cultures taken.Later that night when I experienced all of the symptoms I decided to go into the emergency room.
Avatar n tn Acyclovir is always 2x/day for suppressive therapy. You can not take acyclovir just 800mg 1x/day. It's not effective that way. Call your provider up and question that dose. If they say that that dose works too -ask them to please cite the research that backs that. I guarantee you they can't provide any that shows that 800mg once a day is effective for acyclovir!! do you have hsv1 or hsv2 genitally? How about orally - which one?
Avatar m tn Greatly simplified - you swallow valtrex and your body converts it into acyclovir inside the body. You get more active acyclovir available to kick a little herpes butt by doing it this way. That's why you take valtrex less often. We don't have studies to confirm that acyclovir reduces transmission the same amount as valtrex does but we assume it does. http://racoon.com/herpes/v_a_compare.htm this table comes directly from the valtrex full prescribing info.
