Cold Sore Treatments:
Don’t Get Ripped Off

Cold sores are unpleasant, painful, and unwelcome. Let’s be honest: we all get them from time to time. The moment you get a cold sore outbreak on your lip or around the mouth, you want to get rid of them as soon as possible. Unfortunately, they pop up at the worst moment and usually persist for up to 2-3 weeks. You aren’t alone — cold sores affect millions of people. Thankfully, we have safe and effective cold sore treatments to manage those annoying symptoms.

Cold sore treatments are designed to help ease the discomfort and speed up the healing process. But, with so many medications available in the market, how do you know which ones work the best for you? Read on to learn more about how to treat cold sores the right way.

What Causes Cold Sores?

Cold sores are usually caused by exposure to the Herpes Simplex Virus Type-1 (HSV-1), though they can also be caused by exposure to Herpes Simplex Virus Type-2 (HSV-2). This exposure can happen through any skin to skin contact, like kissing or oral sex, but you cannot get cold sores from sharing a drink! There’s no cure for cold sores, but there are many effective cold sore treatments that will help manage and prevent outbreaks and symptoms.

How to Effectively Treat Cold Sores

There are three main types of cold sore treatments that can help prevent or suppress the outbreak from flaring up.

• Antiviral creams: Antiviral creams or ointments are prescribed by doctors and applied directly to the affected part. Acyclovir Cream is an effective antiviral cream that can decrease healing time and prevent multiples sores. It’s best to use the cream when you first notice any symptoms. You can get quick access to antiviral creams from Wisp, where we guarantee high-quality, prescription medications.

• Antiviral oral medications: Antiviral oral medications, like Valacyclovir, are a standard cold sores treatment. Taking oral prescription pills is the most powerful way to reduce the transmission of the virus to other people. You can take these daily to avoid outbreaks, or take them when required.

• Natural preventative remedies: Another popular way to treat cold sores is by taking over-the-counter oral herbal pills. Our all-natural AV herbals can protect you against cold sore outbreaks. Try the herbal remedies in tandem with prescription antivirals for a stronger defense.

Pain Relief Medications

We always recommend that patients privately consult with a Wisp doctor first to determine the best cold sore treatment. The professionals will give you confidential and judgment-free advice to find an effective solution to your condition.

That being said, prescription medications also include Lidocaine-Amitriptyline Cream, a pain relief ointment that is useful in numbing the infected skin while your antiviral meds go to work. There’s no need to struggle with painful sores — Wisp can deliver pain relief right to your door. These work best when they are used with other antiviral cold sore treatments, so you get pain treatment along with antiviral power that clears up cold sores fast.
