valacyclovir if for prevention. You take it every day and then they won't come back.

I for got to mention. Between using the oil use lip balm. It can but not always dry you lips.

Ask your OB for valacyclovir. Mine said it is safe to take during pregnancy.

I get them all the time. What works wonders for me since I'm not big with medication now that I pregnant is tea tree oil. You can buy it at gnc or any vitamin shop. It helps kill the pain and help them heal. It works faster than the medicine does in my opinion...
