Best Cold Sores Treatment
Thursday, August 26th, 2010Cold sores which are also medically referred to as oral herpes or fever blisters cause red fluid filled wounds generally in the mouth, lips and nose of an infected person. The simplex type 1 (HSV-1) virus is what causes cold sores and these extremely contagious viruses are found in all humans where they lie dormant until the time of an attack at which time the person suffers from painful blisters and rashes. Just before the much awaited date or any important occasion, it can almost kill a person from within and reduce his/her much touted confidence due to these ugly sores on the horizon.
It obviously does not take an intelligence of rocket scientists to know that they for sure are not just unattractive little beastly things but, are immensely uncomfortable for a person suffering from one due to its stinging qualities. How should one get the cold sore treatment then?
Well, to begin with, these cold sores are like having children. First it must be understood that like children these sores will not completely vanish or disappear from your life but can only be controlled for some time in as much the same manner as controlling unruly children. Once this fact is clear you will know that cold sore treatment will never make it go away but will only help in controlling their intensity, and shortening the time period when you are affected by it thereby offering some respite.
One of the best anti viral medication for the cold sore treatment would be acyclovir, also known in the market as Zovirax
