Brief Answer:
Yes you could start anti viral.

Yes, if titre is increasing gradually then its a good idea to start using the medication. Basically cure rate is more then 94% and the drug act by making it difficult for virus to synthesize protein.

So yes you could start it under the doses prescribed by your primary consultant.
