Most of the time, people with mpox can manage symptoms at home. Sores can be extremely painful and sometimes require medication and even hospitalization, especially if they are on or around the genitals.
An mpox/smallpox vaccine (Jynneos) can help reduce symptoms if received soon after exposure. Medical providers can prescribe an antiviral drug (Tpoxx) for extreme cases and for individuals with certain risks.
