COLDSORES any miracle cures out there!

[addictedtolatte]

hi my mum has got quite a few cold sores appeared and she is wondering if anyone has any advice on the best product to treat this. any advice would be appreciated thankyou

zovirax

it is the only thing that works

There is a fantastic little zapper machine that Boots sell- really well reviewed. Maybe somebody can remember the name?

Lemon balm is supposed to be good, Zovirax is good, but better if you get it at the tingle stage. I've used tea tea oil and tcp before but it stings like billyho.

thanks for that it sounds like zovirax it is then.

This is the thingummybob I was talking about- it's new and apparently amazing.

thanks portia i will let my mum know see if she wants to get it.

if your Mum is prone to coldsores, I have found taking a lysine supplement is a great preventative. Not much good if she already has them but it does seem to stop mine from recurring.

second the lysine supplement, worked for me

thanks both for the lysine advice i will let her know and am sure she will take it. prevention is better than cure anyday

Has your mum been sun-bathing? Sunlight can be a trigger for the virus to make a coldsore come. Perhaps sun screen is a good iead.
