I recently saw an urgent care doctor, who suggested that I had a little herpes which I don't know what he meant by little, and he said the only other possibility was something Non particular. He took a blood test, and prescribed Valtrex. I took Zithromax about 6 days ago, and that gave me a burning sensation in my sides. I took a Valtrex pill nowadays, and I had loose stools, and a burning sensation in my left leg/thigh, sort of like it is going to sleep. help?!?
