Hi
Thank for query with HCM , herpes is a viral infection which lasts for about 14-21 days these viruses reside in the nerve ganglion and will reactivate under stress resulting in formation of vesicles. Symptoms are fever fatigue weakness etc... Treatment of choice is anti viral drugs but these are effective if you would have taken within in two days of disease which results in decreased load of virus.if symptoms persist consult your doctor.hope this is helpful
