Cold Sore Treatment
Utilizing antiviral medications for cold sores can help prevent the onset of a full outbreak and minimize the risk of passing it to others. Cold sores are blisters that appear on or around the lips and inside the mouth, and they’re caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus.
A single cold sore signifies an outbreak, though it’s common for multiple sores to appear. The level of discomfort caused by cold sores can vary widely, depending on the frequency of previous outbreaks and the speed at which antiviral treatments (such as Valacyclovir or Acyclovir) are applied. Keeping these medications within reach means you’re prepared to manage symptoms as soon as they arise. For adjustments to your prescription, you can discreetly communicate with a doctor at any time, which can be a step toward living without the worry of outbreaks.
