Wow, I've never heard it used that way before. Well, good luck! I would possibly ask another doc for a second opinion.
Well, I completed my treatment, and I have my follow up next Friday to see if the treatment worked.
The worse part for me was the cold sores, my entire bottom lip was one huge swollen sore cold sore. They put me on Valtrex and an antibiotic, and I felt so much better.
So, good luck with yours, and keep your fingers crossed for me that I won't have to do anything else!
