How to Order Cold Sore Treatment from EverydayMeds
Access Treatment Through Our Online Service
Getting treatment for cold sores inside your nose is straightforward with EverydayMeds. Our online consultation process allows you to access prescription antiviral medications without visiting your GP. Simply complete our medical questionnaire, which takes just a few minutes, and one of our qualified prescribers will review your case within hours.
Available Cold Sore Treatments
We offer several effective treatment options for nasal cold sores. Aciclovir 400mg tablets are our most commonly prescribed antiviral medication, which may help reduce the duration and severity of outbreaks when taken early. For localised treatment, Aciclovir 5% cream can be applied directly to accessible areas. We also stock Valaciclovir 500mg tablets and branded Valtrex as alternative antiviral options.
Why Cold Sores Inside the Nose Need Special Care
Cold sores inside the nose can be more challenging to treat than those on the lips. The delicate nasal tissue makes topical creams difficult to apply, making oral antiviral tablets often the preferred treatment option. These internal cold sores can cause significant discomfort, including pain when breathing, nose-blowing difficulties, and potential secondary bacterial infections if not managed properly.
The Online Consultation Process
Our consultation begins with questions about your symptoms, medical history, and previous treatments. You'll need to describe the location and severity of your cold sores, how often you experience outbreaks, and any medications you're currently taking. Our prescribers will assess whether antiviral treatment is suitable and determine the most appropriate medication and dosage for your situation.
Treatment Timing and Effectiveness
Antiviral medications like Aciclovir work best when started at the first sign of symptoms - typically the tingling or burning sensation that precedes blister formation. For recurrent cold sores inside the nose, our prescribers might recommend keeping treatment on hand to start immediately when symptoms begin. Treatment courses typically last 5 days, though this may vary based on your specific needs.
Delivery and Follow-Up Care
Once approved, your medication will be dispatched from our registered pharmacy. We offer next-day delivery across the UK, with tracking provided for all orders. Our team remains available for any questions about your treatment, and you can contact us if you need additional courses or if your symptoms don't improve as expected. All medications come with detailed patient information leaflets explaining proper usage and potential side effects.
