NO. Doxycycline is used to treat bacterial infections such as chlamydia. Herpes is a virus and can not be treated with any antibiotic. You will need some form of antiviral ointment or cream for herpes but your best bet will be to just wait those couple of days until you see the doc because they will still be there on Monday even if you use over the counter medicines.
No, I don’t think this would have antiviral activity. Most people with herpes are given a prescription for the antiviral (like acyclovir) with refills in case they have an outbreak and can’t get in right away. Make sure you ask for this and that you get in to be seen before you use your last refill. The meds work best if started right away.
ask for once daily valtrex to control and reduce the amount of outbreaks. but if you are currently having an outbreak, only an antiviral med will help because herpes is a virus…
