Question 2

treatment for fever sores?

Accepted Answer

Pills. Cream or gel.: Fever blisters happen in places at or near the original herpes-1 infection. An original infection tends to happen in childhood, and causes sores on the lips and gums, plus sometimes the nostrils and facial areas near the nose and mouth. Recurrences happen on some of those original areas, usually on the lips. Prescription anti-viral pills are sometimes needed. Creams or gels help a little bit.

Fever sores: Medical treatment is acyclovir.  Lysine has also been helpful for fever sores.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Yes: Cold sores and fever blisters are terms people use to describe a viral infection which usually affects the lips.  The most common cause is by the hsv1 virus.  They can be treated with anti-viral medications.  An episode typically lasts about 10-15 days.

Question 6

i would like help with my fever blisters (cold sores)?

Accepted Answer

Cold sores: Your physician can prescribe oral Valtrex (valacyclovir) or another antiviral medication. Laser txs are also used to treat cold sores. Melissa Officinalis or lemon balm (cream) expedites healing of cold sores. It can reduce healing time by half. Studies also show that regular use can help v recurrences.  Brief supplementation with lysine 1,000mg orally three times a day at the onset, can also hasten healing.

Yes: Cold sore or fever blisters are caused by the herpes simplex virus.

Question 8

can you get fever blisters or cold sores in your arm pit ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes you can though rare.It depends on the site of the initial herpes infection.

Question 9

how can i most quickly get rid of fever blisters/ cold sores?

Accepted Answer

Best RX is TIME: The lesion undergoes a series of changes and heals over 14-21 days--after which the virus goes dormant. Anti-viral drugs based on Acyclovir are available by prescription and can be taken as a preventive med. Otc meds, like abreva, have variable success rates. If they occur frequently, you can take Valtrex (valacyclovir) daily as a preventive measure, but will need a prescription. There is no 'fast' way.

Question 10

are there any good ways to prevent cold sores and fever blisters?

Accepted Answer

Prevention: To prevent cold sores from occurring wash hands often. Maintain a healthful lifestyle (regular exercise, nutritious diet, adequate sleep, keeping stress at bay).  Keep lips well moisturized & apply sun screen to the areas that your cold sores normally pop up. Talk with your physician about supplementing with lysine.
