I was diagnosed with herpes about 2 years ago and recently had another outbreak after catching COVID-19. I've been taking Valacyclovir 500 MG for two days and applying Acyclovir to the outbreak, but my vaginal area has swollen more. Should I be concerned? Has the swelling been constant or getting worse over time? Is there any pain or tenderness, and is it constant or on-and-off? Are there any other medical conditions the doctor should know about?

I am 5 weeks and 5 days pregnant and have been experiencing spotting for the last 8 days. I have no medications, stomach pain, dizziness, or significant vaginal discharge, just a tiny bit of blood. I had blood clots 3 years ago and will start blood thinner injections soon. What could be causing the spotting, and what steps should I take?
