I’m taking Paxlovid for Covid and it’s giving me diarrhea. My anus is so raw it bleeds, and it hurts to sit. I’ve been using coconut oil, but it helps only a little. What can I do to alleviate the pain and discomfort, especially since I have one more day of the medication?

I have been diagnosed with HSV2 and prescribed acyclovir pills and ointment. The ointment has caused severe burning, swelling, and redness of the foreskin. I am a lung transplant recipient on multiple anti-rejection medications and am currently in Thailand. Can you advise me on whether I should continue using the ointment due to the severe adverse reaction?
