OB is so bad ... I need tips!

Hi everyone,

I've had herpes for a few months now I'm finally coming to peace with it and forget I even have it! ... That's until I have an OB.

I was taking daily meds but ran out of them then went away for a relaxing weekend with my family, but have suffered a severe OB and in so much pain!

The only thing that could have brought it on is that I had a cold and an argument with my boyfriend before I went away

It's painful to wee and I have lots of white thick discharge, the sore is like on the inside of the Labia and I think it's going to rub against the other side and cause a sore

I've been applying tea tree oil, took a salt bath, applied ice, a tea bag ... Nothing is making it heal!

I'm trying to not take meds so my body doesn't become depenednt on them, does anyone have any tips?

Would be really grateful as this is getting me down 😔

    I used raw manuka honey on my first (and only ob, knock on wood!) A couple months ago. I applied with qtip on the sores, it helped.

      Do you wash the honey off after? Or do you just leave it on? X

      You leave it on. It's not as messy as it sounds, it's not as stocky as honey in a bottle, I would put a towel down on my bed, apply it and just leave it as long as you can. It was easy for me though, no bf so I literally stayed in bed all weekend with no underwear and a fan on to keep the area dry. Drank lots of black tea, too. There's a lot of info online about the effectiveness of honey on the speed. I hope you feel better soon!

      On the sores, not speed.
