I HAD A DOCTOR TELL ME YEARS AGO TO PUT PEROXIDE ON IT 3 TO 4 TIMES A DAY...IT REALLY WORKS...IT DRIES IT OUT
I have found camphor phonic works as well as anything. Stops cold soreness and closes almost over nightIts over the counter at a drug store,ask druggist.George
Don't get cold sores in the first place. Abstain.
Well You can buy crams at the store that specialize in cold sores but what I do is I use peroxide and I get it all bubbly then I use alcohol yes it stinks a bit but it drys it up faster and helps keep the itching and swelling down too! It is a good idea to start as soon as you feel one coming on! As far as the teas bag I haven't heard of using one for a cold sore..sore tooth yes but not a cold sore!
Hope this helps...
I know this may sound gross, but when my father had them, the doctor said that hemorrhoid cream worked for them. I don't know if this is true but it won't hurt to try.
Tea bags is just a home remedy myth. Cold sores will go away within time. You need to make sure to wash your hands really well if you scratch or rub the sore, because you can spread this to other parts of your body, especially the genital area, and to other people through contact. The main goal is to let this virus(herpes-simplex 1) take its courase and dry out. If you are in pain, take some tylenol or motrin, unless you have any liver or kidney problems. If the symptoms get worst, call your doctor or go to a clinic. Wish you well.
