Homeopathic Drugstore

For several years now I’ve suffered from a kind of herpes (non contagious) that according to my doctor is a variant of the same strain that produces fever blisters. Apparently, this strain is very rare, with only one in several thousand people having it. I think he said that it’s a chance for everyone to get it, but it’s just something that rarely happens.

This variation produces a number of ulcers on my throat and palate, which begin first as a series of small blisters. The outbreaks last usually about a week or two at the most, though I’ve had some last only a few days. Since it’s a viral problem, there’s not much I can really do about it, save search for a way to deal with the pain.

(Imagine a sore throat, then multiply it by several hundred and you have my pain.)

Here’s the problem. I detest drugs, and while I do have a back up of loracet should the pain become too much to handle, I don’t like the idea of taking them. So I need something to use in the mean time. Is there any effective pain medication (Ibuprofen helps but not long enough) or homeopathic trick I can do to ease the pain from the ulcers?
