You need to take only Zovirax and paracetamol if there is rise in body temperature and you must drink 4-5 liters of water daily based on the climate in your area

Asked for female, 24 years old from Malda

I have HSV, which was detected on june 2018 after a sexual intercourse. I am taking Zovirax 800 under prescription till now. Recently I tested both IgG and IgM and test result showed they are equivocal. What does it mean? And is HSV is curable?

Hello-
An equivocal HSV test means that the antibody test did not produce a clear positive or negative result. It means that the test is not conclusive and you have to repeat the test after some time for correct results. HSV is curable but only by Ayurveda treatment. Modern medicines can reduce the viral load but it can lead to recurrence in future.

You should consult a dermatologist. 10 days of acyclovir is sufficient. Now you are having post herpetic neuralgia, needs two months of treatment with pregabalin. Kindly consult dermatologist.

I don't think so delay period is because of pregnancy it may be because of chickenpox itself or a state of sickness.

Usually steroids are also added to reduce the oedema of the facial nerve. Bells palsy is self limiting. Should recover in 2-3 months although some residual effect may remain. U must focus on facial excercises.

Dear pt, it seems you are suffering from chicken pox marks and you have used chemical based cream too. But still spots are remaining. What you can do now is, you can stop applying any chemical based creams right now, and you can go ahead with homeopathy natural treatment, which consists of ibt and despotnil therapy for few months to get rid of your problem. If you still have any quires about treatment protocol, you can revert back within evening, feel free to ask your query. Take care.
