Drink sweet acidopholous milk. You can get it at the grocery store, and whenever I have cold sores I drink it. They clear up within a day or so.
It sounds strange, but it really works.
Gargle with salt water, burns but works for me
Good luck, and God bless
wow, way to admit u have herpes. Valtrex, if u believe the commercials
Neosporene
There really is no way of getting rid of them completly, but to help them go down quicker you have to dry them out. Last time i had one i put TCP on it! it stung like hell but it worked. If you dont want to do that then try Cymex cream. People say that they are caused by stress and not enough sleep.
There is a medicane at walmart in the same area as chapstick. Its called HerpicinL. (not sure if i spelled it right) Its what I use though. It helps get rid of it quicker, and eases the itching and burning as well.
About 80 percent of adult Americans have oral herpes, so don't let the ignorant views of some people on here give you a moment of shame.
One of the best ways to deal with herpes is to never even get the sores to begin with. The moment you begin to feel a tingle of a sore coming on, lightly soak a cotton ball in raw apple cider vinegar and apply it to the tingling area -- the acids in the vinegar kill the virus.
Also, count out 6-12 capsules (500 mg each) of LYSINE, an isolated amino acid, to take with a glass of water. It's not expensive -- you can get it at health food stores. You will have to experiment to see how much works best for you-- and I find it works better on an empty stomach. The lysine goes right where it's needed to fight the virus-- that's just one of the things lysine does in the body. It's not a drug-- it's in all meat proteins and some grains etc,. but when you take the isolated form it works FAST. In most cases the tingle simply vanishes and you don't even get the blisters-- woohoo!
Foods high in arginine (check at Google) can actually trigger a herpes outbreak-- I think perhaps the virus feeds on that particular amino acid-- who knows?
So, avoid those foods, take the lysine, and apply the vinegar whenever needed. If you get the blisters anyway, you may have taken too little lysine-- you can take more safely; the body will just use the rest of it.
If you get a blister and it itches and you MUST scratch it, treat that finger like a hazard and wash it with lots of soap and hot water-- because if you don't, the next thing you scratch or touch with that finger can get infected. That's probably why 80 percent of people have it.
Some people also use the acidophilus as mentioned by another reader-- some actually apply it right on the sores.
I prefer to find natural ways to deal with ailments instead of drugs-- and it's all up to you-- but if you follow the advice above, you can avoid more than 90% of breakouts as I have for over 10 years--
Good Luck :)
I was planning a big nite out and 6 days before.2 MASSIVE FLIPPING COLDSORES!!
I never use the creams cos there rubbish, instead i tried Vaseline
I always carry one of the little tins you can get with me anyway, but i was loading this on and i mean LOADING.
Every 20 mins slap loads onto your lips.
Yes you will look like a greasy muppet, and you'll prob get thru half a tin in a few days instead of the usual few months..but 4 days later my coldsore had gone!
