Cold Sore Cures. How To Get Rid Of Cold Sores

 

Do you feel a tingling sensation on your lip?

Do you feel a tiny but invisible bump on your skin?

If so, you only have to wait a day or two before blisters start appearing on your lips. If they do then you're definitely suffering from cold sores.

Also known as fever blisters, cold sores are often confused with but different from canker sores. They are caused by the herpes simplex virus and contagious.

What You Can Do to Cure Cold Sores

Use acyclovir.

This is the only prescription drug considered acceptable for training all types of herpes strains and regardless of which part of the body has been affected. Acyclovir helps prevent the virus from reproducing. It can even inhibit sores from formation if it's taken early enough. With acyclovir, blisters won't last as long and you could also avoid having to suffer from prolonged and crusted ulcers. Pain will also be alleviated in a day or so. Your doctor may suggest taking acyclovir orally while applying it topically to affected areas.

Anesthetic do not help in curing cold sores but it can relieve the pain and discomfort the infection causes.

Over-the-counter (OTC) treatments like those containing benzocaine may be directly applied to affected areas. Using it could help you eat more comfortably.

Modify your diet. The changes need not be permanent. You only have to stay away from acidic and spicy food until your cold sores are successfully cured. Acidic and spicy food like oranges and Indian cuisine will only make your cold sores more painful and unmanageable.

Consider trying Abreva. This medication contains docosanol, the agent responsible for preventing cold sores from getting bigger. It is best to use this product before the blisters open up. If you use it early enough, Abreva can work on cutting the entire ordeal short. Of course, it must be noted that Abreva had been successfully sued for falsely claiming that it's able to reduce cold sore duration by half.

Try using Novitra.

Its main agent is zinc sulfate. While zinc has been commonly used as a healing agent, zinc sulfate is more capable of absorbing sore.

Novitra can help in speeding up the healing process for cold sores. There are two disadvantages however to using this product. Firstly, Novitra is a bit expensive. Secondly, Novitra does not offer pain relief so you'll have to take it together with another painkilling medication.

Try using Zilactin.

It is a gel product which you can apply to your cold sores. It helps in managing the pain as well. This product contains salicylic acid, however, and that could just make your cold sores worse in certain situations. Also, you shouldn't use Zilactin if you are allergic to aspirins.

Releev contains benzalkonium chloride and this agent serves an antiseptic function, capable of cleansing cold sores and helping them dry up.

Releev should not be used, however, for pregnant or nursing women and those allergic to daisies. Indeed, there seems to be a long list of dos and don'ts in its label so you should take care in reading its instructions prior to usage.

Campho-phenique has been in the market for a long, long time. It contains camphorated phenol and this agent can act as a painkiller and keep bacterial infection at bay as well. It comes in different forms so you can certainly choose which one you'll best benefit from.

Some weeks ago I discovered a website called Cold Sore Freedom.

At first I thought: "What's this? A homemade remedy for herpes that will help me to get rid of cold sore forever?!" So I went ahead and bought the ebook. And guess what?!! The method described in the ebook was 100% right! The cold sore I had right below my lip was gone in less than three days!

The author suffered from cold sore for 12-years himself and he will show you how he cured them permanently for life in just 3 days, and threw away ALL those worthless creams and over-the-counter drugs!

His remedy worked for me, it worked for him, it worked for thousand others... so why shouldn't it work for you?!
