Safe and Effective Treatments to Contain and Prevent Cold Sores.
Cold sores are small blisters that most often develop on the lips or around the mouth. They are commonly caused by Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV-1) infection. Cold sores are highly contagious and therefore are very common. HSV-1 can be painful.
The first time you have a cold sore, the symptoms may not start for up to 20 days after exposure to the virus. The sores can last several days, and the blisters can take two to three weeks to heal fully. Recurrences typically appear at the same spot and usually are less severe than the first outbreak.
There is no cure for the HSV-1, but cold sore outbreaks can be effectively treated with antiviral medication such as aciclovir and valaciclovir. These medications are most effective when used at the start of an outbreak.
Antiviral creams are also available to treat outbreaks. And, some vitamins can also help.
As Australia’s most loved online pharmacy, Pharmax provides both over-the-counter and prescription medicines to treat cold sores.
