How to treat an episode of nasal herpes (pustules inside the nostril) without antivirals?

Without antiviral medication, a nasal herpes episode can resolve on its own in 1 to 2 weeks. To improve comfort, using a moisturizing product like Rhinaris or Secaris nasal gel as often as needed can help. Using a cotton swab to apply the gel can help avoid touching the affected area with your hands. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!
