Cold Sores Treatment
It’s strange, but the onset of a nasty cold sore always seem to come when you least need them, such as the night before an interview for a new job, or a hot night out with a new date.  Cold Sores are painful and embarrassing in these situations and if left untreated, a cold sore can develop into a blister or full blown herpes, as cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus, so damage limitation measures are needed to prevent further infection.

Cold sores can be very infectious, and they are usually caused by being kissed by an infected close partner or relative, but any other form of contact such as sharing a drink from the same cup, or from sharing a toothbrush, any number of things like these can cause cold sores overnight.

How to get rid of a cold sore fast

Here is what you can do as a home cold sore treatment to prevent a prolonged cold sore problem:

  • Try and discover the cause of the infection, which is the best remedy, then be wary in the future.
  • Discard your toothbrush and keep the new one in a dry place, not the bathroom, as moisture keeps the herpes virus alive and a blister can develop.
  • Do not lick the cold sore or touch it and keep it as clean and dry as possible.
  • Relieve the discomfort and pain with an analgesic.
  • An ice pack will also help, as the herpes virus does not like the cold.
  • Tannic acid in tea has antiviral properties, so you can press a wet tea bag on the cold sore every few minutes.
