What's the best cure for cold sores? Does Abreva really work? |
What's the best cure for cold sores? Does Abreva really work? Save your money and buy rubbing alcohol. It dries it up fast. Put it on there like 4-5 times a day. I used to be the cold sore queen... It worked great every time. It takes a couple days to see a difference. :) Cold sores are caused by virus' and there is no cure for a viral outbreak once it occurs...only palliative treatment to protect it till the body heals it like Vaseline. Bacterial infections can be cured once contracted, but viral infections can only be vaccinated for prior to infection (if a vaccine has been invented). Abreva is expensive and takes a long time to work. Campho Phenique works best for me. THere is also a prescription you can get from your doctor that is wonderful. First sign of a cold sore coming on and you take the meds the sore is gone. Ice is a very good home remedy for cold sores. Rub ice on the infected skin for few minutes, repeat this every hour Apply a tea bag for few minutes on the blisters, repeat this every hour. One can also consider pressing a warm tea bag on the blisters for approximately 30 minutes Scientists did a lot of embarrassing things to rats to make sure that Abreva does, in fact, have a physiological effect. http://www.abreva.com/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/cold_sores#... I'm sure Abreva works...but slowly. Prevention is the best medicine. I have heard that the herb oregano (not the spice stuff which is not real oregano, but rather Mexican basil) but true oregano kills alot of that stuff in you colon and body so that it doesn't come up anymore. Cold sores are caused by a form of herpes, like chicken pox. Best fought from within. |
