This sucks!!!! Cold sore, ugh!


Woke up last night with two red spots on my upper lip. Thankfully I saw them right away and applied the anti-viral cream.

It sucks because now I can't smooch my bunny Mia until this passes

I am going to the doctor later to get prescription for the treatment because I don't have any more pills/cream.

This blows! I am super angry.

i know this sounds silly but i use aquafresh toothpaste on my coldsores.
it seems to dry them out and they go in no time.
ive tried every sort of cream and they dont seem to work for me.

I saw a dr and got both the cream and the pills.
I decided to go on the pills for a week. During that time I will not BF Mia since the meds can go into milk, and she doesn't need to be exposed to that so soon.

You should try taking L-Lysine. It's only a protein, so isn't something which will be harmful, but it's proven to battle and even prevent cold sores from occurring. Not sure if you're meant to take it daily or just when you notice one or what as I've never had one, but anything that could help, right?
