How to get rid of cold sores on my face?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Antivirals: Cold sores are caused by the Herpes Virus which lies dormant in nerve cel bodies and are activated by stress, trauma, etc. The natural course of the virus resolves without any treatment over several days. Antiviral medications such as Valacyclovir and Acyclovir can decrease recovery times.
