Re: Mouth sore after being on valtrex

[Guest guest]

HI , the mouth sore could be due to HSV-1, Herpes Simplex but I couldnt

know for sure. Valtrex could be causing the virus to come out of latency, I

have heard about this from a few moms. Valtrex is effective against HSV.

Some often find their kids gets sick very easily the first few months on

Valtrex.  Hang in there, and most find that at the end of a year, although it

is

usually much quicker than that, their child is much healthier - it shows.  They

also tend to regress less with illness as they get better too.  At least that's

been our experience and I've heard the same from a lot of others.  But at first

they seemed to get sick so much easier - especially the kid who seemed to never

get sick (which was actually abnormal too).

My girl recently started on valtrex (was on acyclovir) and at the same time was

taken off of dairy b/c we found out she is allergic. Her reflux went away for

about a week but the last 2 days has been bad and is still not on dairy BUT on

week 2 of valtrex. Has anyone experienced any vomiting w/ valtrex?

In addition to thrush, there are minor viruses (minor meaning they don't cause

major immune reactions but you get moderately painful sores and ulcers in your

mouth when they pop up) that will cause little sores too.  They start as clear

little blisters and then white.  With the virus, the membrane itself will

be white, but if it's yeast tends to look like it's a growth standing away

from

the skin.

You can have it cultured to find out if it's thrush...

Are you giving it with food?  It makes my son very nauseas if he doesn't eat

before he takes it.

Yes she takes it after breakfast and after supper. She has chronic reflux and is

believed now to be realted to her food allergy but I am wondering if the valtrex

have stired up her viruses and if this may be the result.

It could also be yeast. It presents itself as sores in the corners of the mouth

and white patches in their mouth.

We have had similar experience in the past of big white/pussy sores - we did not

investigate it much as it went away without much trouble. One time it did happen

after starting an antiviral.

One hypothesis is that it could be because of Epstein Barr - does your child

have high IgG for EBV?

No, in fact he tested negative for HHV 1-8. However, I have read parents telling

of how their children had negative titers until up to a year after antiviral

treatment. I will certainly post the results of the swab. Thank you for your

comment!

This is happening to my son now. It is right above his front tooth. The
