Cold Sore Remedies, Treatment and Medication

Numerous cold sore remedies, treatments, and medication exist on the market today. As a suffer from cold sores since the mid-80s, I have tried a handful of cold sore medications myself. Some have helped out, many have been less than stellar.

As a cold sore sufferer, let me preface this list of herpes treatments and medications by saying there is no cure for herpes. Herpes is a virus that becomes part of your body's DNA. It usually stays dormant in your nervous system until triggered by some stress on your immune system. Research has come a long way and many antiviral medications are now available for you to take to manage your symptoms and reduce outbreaks, but these are by no means a cure.

Hopefully, science will find a cure for this virus in the near future, but until then, the following cold sore rememdies are what I have found to work the best. You can click on each of the products below. I will detail my experience with the product, as well as some of my friends' experiences (as I have many that have the herpes virus) with different types of cold sore medication.

Cold Sore Treatments

Abreva - My personal favorite cold sore remedy and treatment. I use this to prevent outbreaks as well as manage outbreaks when they do occur.

Releev - A decent product that I have used. This product can really help dry out cold sore blisters quickly.

H Balm - I have not used this product personally, but I know many people who swear by it and many friends have recommended it to me during an outbreak.

Carmex for Cold Sores - Carmex formulated for cold sores. Good for keeping your lips moisturized and can help with the burning and itching assocaited with outbreaks.

Lysine For Herpes - Lysine is a natural supplement that has been proven to reduce the chances of an outbreak if taken in the proper dosage with a proper diet. It can help you body fight an outbreak better.
