Hi,
Kindly confirm the lesions and other signs & symptoms with a general practitioner or dermatologist before consuming any medication.
Acyclovir reduces symptoms but does not cure immediately and should not be self prescribed.
Soft bland food will help like well cooked rice with buttermilk, tendercoconut water.
Drink plenty of water
Wear loose clothing and apply calamine lotion for soothing if itching starts.
Take precautions for contacts in the house, especially elderly and children.
Hope this helps!
