Sorry to hear the Zovirax didn't help your husband. Maybe it wasn't the herpes virus to start with. Anyway, my wife gets cold sores, brought on by bright sunshine which is very common, and she uses Zovirax to dry it up and take the sting away. My mother-in-law had an outbreak of shingles on the upper thigh area and was in a lot of pain. Zovirax took the pain away for her. Some doctors won't prescribe Zovirax for shingles or cold sores because it is only FDA approved for genital herpes and costs to much for the drug companies to get approval for cold sores or other forms of the virus. If an MD won't prescribe it try the dentist.
