Cold sore treatments do not cure the viral infection but rather relieve the symptoms or reduce its severity.

If you notice the early signs of a cold sore, use an antiviral medication such as aciclovir (Zovirax) or famciclovir tablets where our pharmacist will explain how best to take them. These aim to reduce the severity and duration of the cold sore.

There are also creams that are available to reduce secondary bacterial infections or relieve the pain and discomfort.

Cold sore patches speed up the healing process and reduces the scabbing. It may also prevent the spread of the cold sore as it covers the blister.

Lysine tablets can be taken to prevent and treat the cold sore. It reduces the occurrences of cold sores and healing time.

Whichever treatment you use, it is best to avoid touching the cold sore. #health #healthy #pharmacy #carmendrivepharmacy #coldsores #medicine #northrocks #carlingford #westpennanthills

Cold sores are contagious and can be easily transmitted through contact with the blister or saliva.

A cold sore is most infectious in the first few days before a blister is present. That means people can spread cold sores without any symptoms.

Avoid touching the cold sore and wash your hands if you have touched it or any areas of your mouth.

Although cold sores are generally mild, it can be serious for babies and people with a suppressed immune system. It can spread to their eyes, lungs and brain, which may cause long term complications or may even be fatal #pharmacy #carmendrivepharmacy #coldsores #health #healthy #carlingford #northrocks #westpennanthills

Cold sores are small painful blisters that can appear around the mouth, face, or nose. It is caused by an infection with the herpes simplex virus (HSV), a common virus.

People are usually infected when they are young and the infection persists for life as there is no cure. However, it can be prevented and effectively treated.

Cold sore symptoms often start before the blisters appear and it is important to recognise these symptoms so that treatment can be initiated as soon as possible.

First time symptoms may also include: Fever, sore throat, mouth ulcers, tiredness or swollen glands. These symptoms often occur in children. #health #healthy #pharmacy #carmendrivepharmacy #carlingford #northrocks #westpennanthills
