I Was Diagnosed With Hsv Type 2 Saturday. I've Been

I was diagnosed with hsv type 2 saturday. I've been experiencing my initial outbreak since Wednesday. Its been horrible. I have a sore on my urethra and have been missing work for a week now. Can't walk, sit, sleep or blow my nose normally.I've been taking acyclovir 3 times a day since Saturday and I haven't gotten much improvement. I think I'm becoming dehydrated because I'm trying to limit my fluid intake because its the mist excruciating pain I've experienced to urinate right now. I'm wondering if excess discharge is normal? Also Is there anything I can do to speed up the healing process? Can I use bactroban on the sores? My gyn prescribed me a topical lydocain jelly but it really isn't much relief at all. I'm dreading every bathroom visit to the point of tears. Please help me. Female.23. P.s. since diagnosis, my diet has been limited to yogurts, fruits, and poultry. Is coconut oil OK to take? I know its recommended to make sure your lysine intake is greater than arginine. Reading mixed reviews about coconut.
