Valtrex for mouth ulcers

Common Questions and Answers about Valtrex for mouth ulcers

valtrex

Avatar m tn no it wasn't type 2 herpes inside your mouth like that!!! your newest symptoms don't sound herpes simplex related at all. most likely a common virus that just has to run its course. the dose for cold sores for valtrex is just a twice a day one day dose but it's not going to work for non-herpes related issues. have you and your gf had full herpes testing at all to know who has what?
Avatar m tn I seen the oral pathologist today. My mouth ulcers had cleared up and he wasn't to concern with them. When I told him I have had no relief of the gential herpe outbreaks even thoough on daily valtrex he was concerned. My next stop is at my gyno but can not seem him for two weeks. He (pathologist) said it could be from something as simple as yeast infection(I had taken several Diflucan for my mouth) but would not comment much more. In my reach search it always goes back to HIV.
Avatar m tn after childbirth, i had a mouth full of sores for at least 6 months straight. doctor prescribed valtrex (without testing me for herpes...i had no idea it was herpes until same doctor tested me last month). my sores were gone within a few short days. HOWEVER, this relief only lasted about a month, then they returned. i simply treated them myself as i had done since childhood, and within a year, the sores decreased. i began valtrex again last month, taking 1000mg as symptoms appear.
Avatar m tn Subsequently, I have had two severe outbreaks with sores all in my mouth, tongue, cheeks, and a few lesions in the genital area (first time for this ever). Severe enough that I could not eat for 3 days. Doctor suggested upping dose for valtrex from 1 g to 3 g for 7 days. I had blood panels done the only noticeable thing was a pretty low Vitamin D level (17) and high triglycerides (210). My question is: is this common?
Avatar m tn This occurred inside my mouth, but never outside of my mouth. This went on for 2-3 months without stopping. I saw my Dr. and Dentist who both told me it could be HSV1 but very doubtful. It never stopped so I went back and my Dr. gave me 3 day Valtrex which seemed to help but it came right back after it ran out. Again, he told me it is not Herpes, but I cannot help but think that it is.
Avatar f tn t really help, although it reduced the fever and headache, the swollen glands were still painful, and I had developed a whole mouthful of ulcers/sores (top of inside mouth, gums, lips, tongue). I thought this may be an allergic reaction to the amoxycillin suspension I had been taking. My doctor said it was a virus, and prescribed valtrex. Gave me the talk about not having unprotected sex, asked if I had any discharge or lesions down below - which I don't.
Avatar n tn In early December I contacted my doctor by phone and he wrote me a prescription for 500mg Valtrex to help suppress the outbreaks. While I initially thought that it was working, they soon began to reoccur and just as frequently. I had increased the amount taken to 2 pills a day and still I get them. What is also strange is that since I first started getting these, they rarely have ever lasted more than 7 days when I know that are supposed to last much longer.
Avatar n tn Infection and stress may also cause the sore spots in your mouth. Canker sores or aphthous ulcers, are small sores that occur inside the mouth and may also show up in small clusters. A small red bump rises and may bursts, leaving an open, shallow white or yellowish wound with a red border. The sores are often painful. Most canker sores will heal on their own in a few days to a couple of weeks. If it persists, have this evaluated further for proper management.
Avatar f tn Now they all have hardened yellow puss cover, but once I wash my face those yellow covers could be washed away if I’m not careful because they get soft. Also, I am applying ointment from the doctor and taking valtrex, for the 3rd day already. I want to ask if the valtrex and ointment could be the reason for these hardened yellow puss that is covering on those ulcers of mine? Can the healing stage of herpes cold sores have those yellow covered ulcers?
Avatar f tn I have been to my dentist for them. My dentist said he can not help me out. I have wron braces for 6 years which is long time. Some people wear braces for one/two years not for 6 whole years. I asked me dentist is it to do with the braces he said maybe. pls could u let me know what can use...

Avatar f tn From time to time I will get mouth ulcers which I have been told by doctors is due to the HSV-1. They last no more than 7-14 days. The last 6 weeks I have gotten 4 of them which I believe is a higher frequency for me. They each go away again after a few days to at most 14 in one case. The higher frequency has gotten me worried that maybe it is related to the incident.
Avatar n tn They occurred for the first time too long after exposure to be HSV, they have been localized to the inside of your mouth and HSV lesions involve the lips as well as the inside of the mouth (in fact, while it is typical for HSV to recur outside of the mouth, it is less common to occur inside), and your initial outbreak did not last long enough to suggest HSV.
Avatar n tn My 15 year old daughter frequently gets mouth ulcers which causes her great discomfort and pain. Has anyone else been through this and have they any advice on possible causes?
Avatar m tn For last three years , he has been having acute mouth ulcer probems. He gets around 2-3 ulcers frequently. In a month he possibly will have 20 days suffering from this problem. We have tried at least three doctors inlcuding our family physician and with all possible medicine, he still continues to have problem. Advice...
Avatar f tn Other differentials will be aphthous ulcers, cold sores and cheilitis.Aphthous ulcers and cold sores may appear as small patches of white to yellowish blisters in the inside of the lips and mouth.Aphthous ulcers have an unknown origin and may be triggered by stress or trauma. Cold sores are due to herpes simplex 1 and may be triggered by extreme temperatures and certain stressors. In your case, you have a significant history of smoking.
Avatar n tn I am curious if taking my prescription for Valtrex would have any impact on my eye?
Avatar f tn are mouth ulcers 1 week after exposure a symptom of HIV? i must add i have been smoking heavily to deal with the anxiety and have since developed 2 ulcers. thank you for your time.
Avatar m tn Recurrent mouth ulcers can occur in a number of patients. The cause of recurrent mouth ulcers is often unknown and factors such as anxiety, oral trauma, medication effect, and hormonal changes may increase the chances of getting them. Also, around 40% of people who have recurrent mouth ulcers have a family history of the condition.
Avatar f tn Could there be a serious HSV infection that is causing what looks like autoimmune but is not? I was on valtrex for a while, did well, went off for a year to get a break, and have just recently begun it again.. Since beginning one week ago, my eyes actually look clearer....I'm waiting to see if some of the "myalgias" get better too being back on it. I'm getting worried and wondering if I should see an infectious disease doctor instead of just my gyn?
Avatar f tn I have gotten ulcers in the past in my mouth and tested positive in 2009 for hsv 1 at 5.0 and negative.
Avatar m tn Don't worry. I have mouse ulcers all the time. Well, not all the time. Sometime one in 3 months, sometime 3 in month. Doctors don't know actualy what causes this condition. They beleive it can be caused by stress and/or injury (like if you have habit to byte your lips), not enough sleep, poor food intake. When all this thing You put together (stress + injury + lack of goog sleep + poor food) you get low imunity which cause mouse ulcers. I have this ulcers since my childhood.
Avatar f tn Havent hsd them while pregnant but a few years back i did and i was diagnosed with hand mouth foot disease.. milk helps to swish in your mouth!
