How long does it take from taking meds to feeling better?

I’m on valacyclovir 1000mgs 2x a day for 10 days for a first time outbreak.  Im only on day 2 for taking it.  I’m in a lot of pain and while I thought it was going away I’m starting to feel a tingling sensation and hoping it’s just in my mind!  I never got that initially it just started hurting and by the time I looked I noticed the sores.

From the time that you start taking the pills how long until you start to feel relief?  I’ve noticed he swelling go down but also noticed more blisters come up and noticed others have popped.  I’m in so much pain

I just had the first outbreak. The pain was unbearable. I had 4 days in excruciating pain on medicine. Started feeling better at the 5th day on antiviral. 

It does get better. I so feel for you
