I get a cold sore on my lip maybe once every 6 months or year. I was just using campho phenique, but recently a friend of mine said I can get an anti viral medicine to knock them out faster.
Long story short, I went to the doctor and was prescribed 4 pills of the generic valtrex that I take 2 pills 2x a day for one day. I took them yesterday and here I am today wondering if that's enough, does this sound like a normal protocol? The half life of valtrex shows to be 3 hours... Anyone with experience that can chime in, is one day going to even do anything for it?
