Herpes labial

Hey guys ,

Have anyone taken acyclovir 400 mg for herpes labial and if yes did you take the whole package or only until it was gone ?

I have had it few weeks ago and my doctor prescribed it to me, I took it for a few days until it was gone and he said I don’t have to keep taking it . And today woke up and have another one on my lips . I don’t know if I should finish the package or just until it’s gone again.

Ps: I have been suffering w this since I was like 8-10 it has been mentally and physically affecting me . This is the first time in ages that I haven’t had it for 7 months . Normally every 2 months one or two pop out . I am devastated:(
