Cold Sores

I'm going to talk as fast as I can. If you can get yourself a prescription of Valtrex or any sort of generic Valtrex, that is the absolute fastest way to get rid of a cold sore. So the minute you start feeling that tingling, get into a doctor and see if you can get yourself a Valtrex. It's an oral medication. You just swallow it and it kind of stops it about when, you know, like if it's just barely feeling it, like that first pill or two and it's done. If it's pretty far along, it might take a little bit more. And then if that's not a possibility, you get Abreva to stop the growing process and then once it stops growing and you have to heal, then you get like Camphor Phenic and that will help on the healing end. So Abreva on the front end, once it's starting on the healing side, then start taking the Camphor Phenic. That's what I've used my whole life and I've tried a lot of things, but those seem to help Valtrex if you can get it, man.

So whenever I have a cold sore, my favorite thing to do, I don't like having a cold sore, but I'll get L-lysine, and I have the 1000 milligram, and if you just take like one caveat, like between one and three times a day, that gets rid of it really quickly within like a day or two for me, especially if I can kind of tell it's coming and start taking it then. It's just at like the pharmacy over the counter, so that always helps me.

One treatment I want to share real fast is there's actually a specific type of like lip balm that you can get that is for cold sores and I've used that before and that really helps not only hydrate it so that the skin doesn't crack but it helps it go away pretty fast.

So after you've done, keep the swelling down with some ice and put hydrogen peroxide on it and some Abreva, another thing you can do is take some lysine pills. Lysine kind of will break down the cold sore and help out there with lip care, specifically lip health.

I've had my fair share of cold sores in my life. If you go to your dermatologist about it, they can prescribe you something, at least my dermatologist did, that I would take as soon as I start to feel a cold sore come on. Like the tingle, everything. I take some medication for it and then 12 hours later I'll take medication again and it does not come. Like my cold sore, even though I feel it coming on, it goes away because of this. Lysine pills or like lysine vitamins, also really great. And Abreva chapstick, keeping it chapped, your lips not chapped. Those are some treatments that's helped me.

Glad this amazing app has a cold sore section because, man, I hate cold sores. I've just always had cold sores like in my system. I was born with it or something like that. I think that what might be the cause of it, maybe some people could help me out, but some treatments I have for cold sores is of course not touching it. Even though it's like the worst thing, of course something important's coming up and boom there's a cold sore on my lip, but I'll put ice on it right away, like kind of treat it like that and just try to get the swelling of it down and try to even stop it. I'll put ice on it and then I always put hydrogen peroxide just to clean out all the gunk and keep it clean and also Abreva. So those three things, ice, hydrogen peroxide, and Abreva overnight, which is like this white cream ointment for cold sores.
