Quick Online Assessment Process
Accessing effective cold sore treatment through EverydayMeds is straightforward and convenient. Our online consultation process connects you with UK registered clinicians who can assess your symptoms and prescribe appropriate treatment within hours.

Our clinicians review each case individually to ensure safe and effective treatment recommendations.
Available Cold Sore Treatments
EverydayMeds offers a comprehensive range of cold sore treatments suitable for different stages and severities of outbreaks. Aciclovir 5% cream provides targeted topical relief when applied at the first signs of tingling or blister formation. For more severe or frequent outbreaks, our clinicians may recommend Aciclovir 400mg tablets, which work systemically to reduce outbreak duration and severity. Valaciclovir 500mg tablets offer an alternative antiviral option with convenient twice-daily dosing for those who may benefit from this formulation.
Treatment Timing and Effectiveness
Early intervention significantly improves treatment outcomes for cold sores. Aciclovir cream works most effectively when applied at the first signs of an outbreak, typically during the initial tingling or burning sensation. The antiviral properties help prevent viral replication, potentially reducing blister formation and healing time. Oral antiviral medications like Aciclovir tablets may be recommended for patients experiencing frequent outbreaks or those with compromised immune systems.
Next Day Delivery Service
Understanding the urgency of cold sore treatment, EverydayMeds provides next day delivery across the UK for all approved prescriptions. Orders placed and approved by our clinicians before our daily cut-off time are dispatched the same day for next working day delivery. All medications arrive in discreet, unmarked packaging to protect your privacy whilst ensuring temperature-controlled storage during transit.
Professional Medical Support
Our qualified clinicians provide ongoing support throughout your treatment journey. Following your initial consultation, you can access follow-up advice and guidance through our secure patient portal. This ensures appropriate monitoring of treatment response and provides reassurance during the healing process. Our pharmacy team is also available to answer questions about medication usage, potential side effects, and optimal application techniques for topical treatments.
Managing Recurrent Cold Sores
For patients experiencing frequent cold sore outbreaks, our clinicians can discuss suppressive therapy options during consultation. This may involve regular antiviral medication to reduce outbreak frequency and severity. Additionally, our medical team can provide guidance on identifying personal triggers and implementing lifestyle modifications that may help prevent future episodes. Proper wound care and hygiene advice is also provided to minimise secondary bacterial infections and promote optimal healing.
