What is the best way to treat herpes?

Herpes is a bacterial disease caused by a viral infection. After contracting herpes, it can be treated with medical drugs. Because herpes is contagious and may cause infection, patients with herpes cannot get married and have children. They need to wait until the disease is completely cured and no bacteria remain in the reproductive system before they can have a normal sexual life and ensure that the child born is healthy. Therefore, the treatment of herpes is very important.

(I) Traditional Chinese medicine suppression therapy

Currently the most effective treatment method: Genital herpes is a stubborn disease that is difficult to cure, and traditional medicines have been helpless against genital herpes. The topical drug Bolikang is rich in highly active protein-dissolving enzymes, which can quickly dissolve the protein shell of the herpes virus, allowing the drug ingredients to quickly enter the virus and destroy the gene chain. Inhibit the DNA polymerase activity of the virus, making it unable to reproduce and kill off offspring.

2. Antiviral drug treatment

1. Acyclovir (ACV) is an open-chain purine nucleoside that inhibits viral deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis but has little effect on host cell DNA synthesis. It is considered to be the most effective anti-HSV drug currently available. For severe cases, the drug can be administered intravenously at a dose of 5 mg per kilogram of body weight, once every 8 hours for 5 to 7 days. Generally, patients can take it orally, 200 mg each time, 5 times a day, or 800 mg each time, 2 times a day, for a total of 5 to 7 days. It can quickly reduce the virus, alleviate symptoms and shorten the healing time. Topical application of 3% to 5% ACV ointment can also relieve symptoms and shorten the course of the disease. The drug has no obvious side effects.

For patients with more frequent relapses, preventive medication can be used. The method is to take 200 mg each time, 3 times a day, for 6 to 12 months. Some patients can completely suppress recurrence. In recent years, new analogs of acyclovir have been developed, such as valaciclovir, famiciclovir tablets, and the traditional Chinese medicine paolikang, which have the advantages of definite efficacy, high bioavailability, small dosage, long half-life, and fewer medication times. They have been reported to be used in the treatment of genital herpes.
