I would think that the dry mouth/constipation could be related but I wouldn't see the correlation with the vaginal infection.  that needs to be checked out, expecially if you are sexually active.

 

For the constipation/dry mouth, I would continue to target fluids throughout the day and Metamucil, Milk of Magnesia or other over the counter products typically should work.  If they are not - you might want a doctor's opinion and a diet evaluation.

There are two types of HSV, HSV type 1 and 2, and both can cause genital herpes.
