How to Order Cold Sore Treatment Online
What Are Cold Sores?
Cold sores are small, painful blisters caused by the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) that typically appear on or around the lips. Up to 70% of the UK population carries HSV-1, though many never develop symptoms. For those who do experience outbreaks, cold sores usually begin with tingling or burning sensations before fluid-filled blisters appear within 24-48 hours.
Online Consultation Process at EverydayMeds
Getting cold sore treatment through EverydayMeds is straightforward and convenient. Start by completing our secure online consultation form, which asks about your symptoms, medical history, and current medications. Our UK-registered prescribers will review your information and may recommend appropriate antiviral treatments such as Aciclovir 400mg tablets or Valaciclovir 500mg tablets if clinically suitable.
Available Cold Sore Treatments
EverydayMeds offers several prescription antiviral options for treating cold sores. Aciclovir 400mg tablets are commonly prescribed to help reduce the severity and duration of outbreaks when taken at the first sign of symptoms. Valaciclovir 500mg tablets and branded options like Valtrex may also be suitable depending on your individual circumstances. We also stock topical treatments including Aciclovir 5% cream for direct application to affected areas.
When to Seek Treatment
Cold sore treatment is most effective when started early, ideally at the first sign of tingling or burning sensations. Antiviral medications like those available through EverydayMeds may help reduce outbreak duration from the typical 7-10 days. Treatment may be particularly beneficial for people who experience frequent or severe outbreaks, have weakened immune systems, or want to reduce the risk of transmission to others.
