Cold Sore Treatment

Cold Sore. Fever Blister. Herpes Simplex. How about Embarrassing? Or Painful? Maybe Annoying? Whatever you call it; cold sores are no fun. There is no cold sore cure but you can reduce the pain, discomfort, appearance, and the length of the stay of your little unwanted guest.

Cold sores are viruses that usually last five days to two weeks. They often recur throughout people’s life because, unlike most viral infections, the cold sore virus is not completely eliminated by the body defenses. Though they vary in size, they are painful, fluid-filled blisters that appear most commonly on lips, mouths and noses.

There are several ways to avoid getting a cold sore and to shorten the length of a cold sore once you have it. Learn more about the causes, symptoms, treatments, remedies and prevention of a cold sore by clicking on the buttons to the left of your screen and say good bye to your cold sores!
