Whilst I agree with your Dad taking lots of medications not being a good idea there are some conditions that require them and HSV can in some cases be one of them particularly when a person is having recurrent outbreaks,if you have been under stress lately then that is most likely the reason for them,I would advise rather than using Acyclovir cream to take Acyclovir
Tablets as a Suppressive Therapy for a bit
to lessen your outbreaks it involves taking 2
tablets a day for as long as you feel it n
