Treating a cold sore safely and successfully can be quite easy if you read this quick article. Enjoy amazing relief from your cold sores using these tried and true tips for treating a cold sore.
Treating a cold sore is something you hope to not do too often. No matter how you treat them, they are quite a bother and they interfere with your life in a big way.
But treating a cold sore correctly can greatly shorten the duration and provide you freedom much sooner. Left alone, cold sores often take weeks to heal completely.
Luckily cold sores are surface infections where you can easily get to them and apply effective treatments.
Cold sores occur in stages and each stage should be treated slightly differently for fastest healing times. Following are the three main stages of cold sores and the best treatment for each.
INITIAL STAGE OF YOUR COLD SORES.
The herpes simplex virus is normally dormant in the root area of your nerves. When activated, it will wiggle to the surface along a nerve fiber. You feel this as an itching or tingling feeling in the target area.
As soon as you suspect this virus movement, cool the target area down with ice. The herpes virus hates cold and treating a cold sore this way will often delay – if not prevent – development of your cold sores.
Lysine supplements can be quite helpful and now would be the best time to start taking them. Keep taking them until the sore is gone.
DEVELOPMENT STAGE OF YOUR COLD SORES.
Painful red bumps and lots of swelling marks this stage of cold sore development. This tells you that the herpes virus has entered the surface nerve cells to replicate.
Applying ice is still a good choice for treating a cold sore at this stage. You will find it helps reduce the pain and swelling, as well as discouraging the herpes virus from doing further damage.
Applying garlic at this time is also extremely helpful. Cut or crush a fresh garlic clove and apply to the sore area. You can get garlic oil in bottles and gel-caps for convenience or travel.
NOW THE HEALING STAGE OF YOUR COLD SORES.
The herpes simplex virus has finished the damaging replication process once the sore opens up. Now we must repair the skin and replace the destroyed nerve cells.
Continue taking the lysine and applying the garlic oil. Stop using ice as a treatment now because it will slow down the healing process.
Now is the time to start applying heat to the wound. It will bring more blood to the area for quick repair of the damage. The preferred choice for treating a cold sore this way is with the use of warm tea bags.
Do not use the microwave to heat up the tea bags as it destroys the nutrients in the tea. You can also drink some tea for internal benefits.
Keeping the area sterile is important too. Sanitize the wound with tissues wetted with alcohol or hydrogen peroxide, then throw away. Then apply the garlic oil followed by 15 minutes of heat.
After each heat application, apply Aloe Vera gel. Aloe Vera contains nutrients that feed the growth of new cells and skin. You will be amazed.
Your best choice for aloe vera gel is not from a bottle. You want fresh, active gel from a live plant. Many folks grow this plant in their home. You should too.
CAUTION.
When treating a cold sore, use extreme caution so as not to spread the virus to other spots on you or someone else. People with a lip full of sores started with one and spread the rest.
Particularly dangerous is spreading the virus to your eyes. This can cause permanent eye damage.
Keep your fingers and the cold sore area as sterile as possible while treating a cold sore. Wash your hands religiously, and avoid touching the sore with your fingers. This virus is a direct contact virus.
For additional pain relief during the cold sore event, you may wish to use a drug store cold sore treatment. Many of these have numbing agents – like benzocaine – that help give additional comfort to the damaged nerves.
Treating a cold sore does not have to be complicated. Simply use cold to slow the sore and heat to heal it quickly. And to prevent new infection sites, wash your hands regularly when you are treating a cold sore.
