What if you can't handle the Valtrex?

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

My son had tested positive to herpes, CMV and very high EB all IgG

results. We started valtrex early this week, 500mg once a day (he is

almost 6 and aprox 50lbs) and after the second day he developed very

red itchy eyes (I had posted about this earlier). I had never seen this

reaction to anything we have given him before, he really could not keep

them open until after a long hot shower. Our DAN has asked us to hold

the Valtrex and said maybe we would start at a 1/2 a dose again in a

few days.

If he cannont tolerate the Valtrex, what are the alternatives? I'm

sure there are some natural anti-virals but I don't know what they are

and would like to research them before our dr's apt. on Monday.

Thanks for any advice
