Herpes/not pooping

i was diagnosed with HSV 2 last week, and have been having trouble pooping for 2 weeks now. the first week of symptoms i pooped but it was difficult to come out. now, i havent pooped in a week. im freaking out and currently on meds…how long will this last? my symptoms seem to be gone besides the lack of pooping. is this common!!!

constipation is a common symptom of antivirals. eat more fiber, drink more water. maybe even try some laxatives
