Will meds help get rid of facial neuralgia

[Dahara]

So my initial outbreak cleared up a few days ago and I'm now experiencing various forms of facial neuralgia. It started as numbness in my mouth, my cheeks and around my hairline, then progressed to eye twitches, and lately it feels like my upper lip is partially paralyzed. My eyes have been extremely tender and my vision seems blurry at times.

I've read some people say this can last for months and that the first year is the worst. Will acyclovir suppress this symptom? Is there any chance that my virus could spread to my eye or nerves in my face?
It's embarassing because it's evident that there's something wrong with me, and so annoying...

If you had hsv2 in the throat then you have hsv2 orally.

You need to go and be seen by a medical doctor for this. do not mess around with this.

Ramsay Hunt Syndrome is more probable. I went for acupuncture this morning and the doctor advised me that the nerves in my face are affected by swelling caused by the virus. When virus clears up, the paralysis should subside. My swollen lymph node is the only original symptom that is still affecting me.

I have HSV2 not oral herpes, but the first outbreak was in my throat. Why can't doctors make the connection? Many other people report the same thing I'm experiencing.

I encourage you to return to your doctor tomorrow for further evaluation. This is not a typical thing that happens with oral herpes and it sounds more like a bell's palsy which needs medical attention.
