It Is Best To Treat Fever Blisters In Their Early Stages.

By Jane Perone


There are many cold sore medications available for treating a potential break out. Some are taken orally while some are used topically. By a treating fever blister immediately after you feel the itching, burning or tingling sensation, you can reduce the healing time of a sore.

Although there are medications that you can use to shorten the duration of the outbreak, and to help with the symptoms, there is no medication that will cure the virus.

You will want to consult with your doctor to find the cold sore medication that is right for you. Let's take a look at the different medications your physician may recommend.

The use of these medications effectively reduces the pain, decrease the time to heal, reduces the number of lesion that develop and reduces the mount of viral shedding. If you are suffering from fever blisters it is best to first combat HSV with oral medications in conjunction with topical medications. Not every medication will work the same way for all people. It is in your best interested to test as many as many medications as you can to see which ones help you fight off a cold sore on a consistent basis.

In order to get rid of fever blister recurrences you can try Denavir. It is a FDA-approved cold mouth sore medication. It effectively shortens the healing time as well as reduces the symptoms of a sore in as little as two days.

The frequent use of Zovirax cream can reduce the symptoms of fever blisters within as little as half a day. In order to reduce the symptoms further, a low dose of Acyclovir can be taken; however, to reduce the pain a higher dose of acyclovir is required.

You can easily get rid of cold sore symptoms within as little as two days by taking another FDA-approved medication known as Famcyclovir. The key to success in curing cold mouth sores is starting treatment immediately as you feel the cold sore symptoms.

As you can see, if you suffer from cold sore outbreaks, you really do not have a lot of options when it comes to finding a cold sore medication to treat the virus. You will want to work with your doctor to determine if an antiviral medication might help, or if an over the counter option will work.

You most likely will also want to pick up one of the topical over the counter medications to help with the symptoms you will experience during an outbreak.
