Why did my doctor give me valtrex for canker sores?


brett h asked:


I’ve read from tons of websites that canker sores are not from the herpes virus and are idiopathic. Is my doctor just confusing them with cold sores which is caused by the herpes simplex virus or does valtrex actually help cure canker sores? Its been about 2 days and I haven’t noticed any relief with it
