MS and HSV 2

I am taking Valtrex everyday for supressive therapy.  But when I do get another outbreak, do I need to be put on antibiotics?  Because I have MS the last out break had me in relapse mode in a major way.  Infections really mess with my disease.  Do I need to b put on antibiotics?  I will ask my Dr. next time I go.  But do you know?

herpes is a virus, antibiotics don't help for it.

By the way, my suppressive therapy dose is 500 mg valtrex (the generic of valtrex) 2x daily.  So... after the 1st and only outbreak I was taking 1,000 mg 2x daily.
