Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Herpes is a viral infection, so antibiotics (D) which are used to treat bacterial infections will not be effective. While there is no cure for herpes (A), antiviral medications can help to control and manage the symptoms such as acyclovir and valacyclovir. Laser therapy (C) has not been proven as an effective treatment for herpes. Therefore, the best choice is antivirals (B).
