Get Rid of Your Cold Sores
If you suffer from cold sores, here is some information that
will help you inform you on this ailment and also give you some
tips to treat it. Unfortunately, cold sores are caused by Herpes
Simplex Virus. This virus is usually activated by a cold, stress
in ones life and over-exposure to the sun.
. Most cold sores are painful and uncomfortable. They usually
last from about seven to fourteen days. However, if treated
effectively you can limit their length and discomfort. Here are
some tips:
*Use a petroleum based product that protects the sore from
irritation
*Be careful what you eat. You may notice that salts and acids
actually cause pain. For instance salty French fries or snacks
can irritate the sore causing pain and discomfort
*Many women, who suffer from cold sores, try to cover it up with
make up. This usually causes irritation and makes the healing
process longer
*Since over-exposure to the sun can cause an outbreak of cold
sores, it is best to use a lip balm that has a SPF rating for
the sun
*Try to rid yourself of stress. While difficult to do, the more
stress you experience the more probability of a cold sore
appearing
*Do not kiss or share any items that come into contact with your
cold sores. Cold sores can be transferred from one person to
another
If you are experiencing an outbreak of cold sores, you may also
want to look into a host of products that treat cold sores.
These products can lessen the discomfort and time that it takes
a sore to heal. If you continue to have problems or your sores
are severe, it is always best to consult with a physician.
