Hi hun, don't know if you are still about, but I wanted to ask you a quick question. Do you know of a good Spanish Zovirax type cream? I can feel a cold-sore coming on.

In the mean time wrap an ice cube in a bit of cloth and hold agianst "tingle." Sometimes that's enough to stop it nesting.

I haven't got any ice. We usually buy them in bags here. Would white wine vinegar be any good?
NM, the active ingredient is aciclovir. can you maybe ask for that?
Not heard that one. have you got any icelollies at all ? If not can you buy one ? I used an icepop one day ( didn't unwrap it)
Question Author
I don't know what they call that in Spain, Sara, or if indeed they use that at all here.

Naomi... The only thing I have in the freezer is some frozen peas.
ok they are just as good. Wrap a small handful in tissue or cloth and hold onto lip. When they defrost start again with new ones. keep doing for hours. Hopes this helps. Works for us. Good luck. :o)

Cheers, Naomi !
if you google aciclovir and Spain, there are quite a few options. not sure how helpful that is, sorry.

I can post you some tomorrow if you like, but you'll probably be needing it quicker than that.
dab on acetone - nail polish remover.
calentura en el labio. This from English / Spanish translator.
Naomi, is that for cold sores of the mouth? lol!
Question Author
Those translators are notoriously unreliable !

I'll pop down to the local Farmacia tomorrow and have a word with the chap there. Cheers guys. xx
well I did wonder !! :o) Ice tonight and meds tomorrowit is then.,

If I asked for creamo gobbo para lippo, I'd probably get an answer of "No entiendo".

Thanks anyway, Poodi.

Sorry Tambo, I did look in the bathroom cupboard, but no acetone in there. Thanks anyway.
NoM...just popped in before going upstairs!!

You seem to have all the answers.

Zovirax is the same name in Spain.

Acyclovir, will get you the same thing.
