Cold Sore Treatments

Cold sore treatments for faster healing

If you’ve ever experienced a cold sore, you’ll know that familiar tingling feeling around your mouth before a cold sore pops up, often the next day. Cold sores aren’t fun, but they’re usually manageable when you have the right products at hand. At Healthylife, we have a wide array of reliable cold sore treatments to choose from. Our offerings include creams, patches, tablets, and gels designed to cater to different preferences. The goal is simple: to offer versatile solutions that make managing the discomfort of cold sores an easy and effective process.

What is a cold sore?

Cold sores are small, often painful blisters around the lips or inside the mouth. They are highly contagious and are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) – a virus that around 8 in 10 people become infected with by the time they reach adulthood. The virus can remain inactive, meaning some people who carry the virus may never have a cold sore. For others, factors like fatigue, illness and stress may cause the virus to become active, resulting in a cold sore. Healthylife’s range of cold sore treatments is designed to address common cold sore symptoms and support a quicker healing process.

How long do cold sores last?

Cold sores may begin with a tingling or itching sensation around the mouth about one day before a cold sore appears, which may last anywhere from a few days to two weeks. Cold sores should heal on their own, though individual experiences may vary.

Other symptoms that may accompany a cold sore include headaches, fever, a sore throat or swollen glands.

How to manage cold sores?

Research indicates that antiviral medications may be effective in managing and reducing the duration of cold sores. Healthylife’s range of cold sore treatments contains specific antiviral agents that work to inhibit the replication of the herpes simplex virus. Regular use, as directed, may contribute to faster healing and relief from symptoms. Healthylife's range of cold sore treatments may also help prevent blisters and scabs from forming, offering relief from discomfort and minimising the impact of outbreaks.

If you have specific concerns about cold sores or are unsure about the most suitable treatment for your needs, consulting with a healthcare professional is advisable. Their personalised advice can guide you towards effective solutions tailored to your situation.
