Coldsore

[4getmenot]

Help I have the most hideeous coldsore apart from the normal creams is there any well known home remedies?

The baby should be immune for tthe first 6 weeks 4get, but ask a pharmacist.

To be honest I only got coldsores when I stopped smoking and they only lasted about a week, liberal applications of Zovirax sorted the blighters right out

I'll wait till its gone, better safe than sorry

Try dabbing neat whisky or vodka on your coldsore. It dries them up very quickly and you can take a swig at the same time and that will make you feel better as well!! x

Anybody else suffering I have looked into it. And an icecube is good held on it while it is still swelling but after it has burst and its in the healing process warmth will speed up the healing so a hot towel is best on it.

4get, i get them all the time and i know it hurts like crazy but perfume always work on mine. I seem to be immune to all the creams as i have used them soooo much! also a cold teabag held on at night for a while soothes it too. Doctor recommend a herbal supp called Lysine, i take one everyday and touch wood haven't had one since. They often feel worse than they actually look so don't fret too much!

Blistex...........good stuff

[LoftyLottie]

It's the alcohol in the perfume that helps, much the same as my whisky or vodka!

Must take a trip up the road a few miles to see if I can find a strange lady wearing a hijab1 ;o(
