Treatment for cold sores

Standard treatment for cold sores generally uses expensive antiviral drugs like Zovirax, Famvir or Valtrex, which are designed to reduce pain and help faster healing.

These drugs are normally taken by mouth or as a cream, but may also be injected in rare cases. Treatment should begin as soon as symptoms first appear to be most effective, but certainly within 24 hours.

There are also natural remedies that can also have similar healing effects to these drugs. Treatments such as tea tree oil have been demonstrated to help ease symptoms, while applying an ice pack or tea bag can also offer comfort to sufferers or even prevent the virus progressing to the blister stage.

Whether you choose drugs or natural remedies, you won't respond equally to a particular treatment as another individual and so may find one treatment for cold sores better than another.
