Meds and herpes connection?
I am in my second week of ribo/sov/peg and all is going well. Just had a sore in my mouth show up as it does when I am really stressed, have had too much sun, or have a bad cold. Has anyone heard of a connection between the two? I do have meds to treat it.
Thank you for your comments. I guess I just like to know something I am experiencing is common. Didn't want to think I was getting a cold.
it's pretty common that people treating with interferon and Ribavirin have problems as mouths sores during treatment. Make sure your keeping well hydrated and ask your doctor what OTC stuff that might help. If it gets real bad then ask for a Rx for magic mouthwash... Good luck to you.
Your taking heavy treatment drugs to get rid of your Hepatitis C. It working on overtime on your immune system. Like you said, " Just had a sore in my mouth show up as it does when I am really stresses, have had too much sun, or have a bad cold". A connection between the two would be stress on your immune system like when your sick or over doing it.
