Yes,possible with complete course of Anti viral.
Detailed Answer:
Hello there,
Thanks for follow up,
The treatment success, in case of viral infection depends on eliminating the infecting viral load (The amount of virus in the involved body fluid) to a minimal level from which it wont able to produce any further clinical infection.
But in case of herpes infection, even with proper treatment, residual viral particles reside in the nerve endings, which can cause relapse (another episodes in future).
So if you want a permanent cure, you have to follow the complete course of anti viral therapy based on your viral load as prescribed by treating physician.
Hope helped you,
