Start Your Online Consultation Today
Getting cold sore treatment through EverydayMeds is straightforward and confidential. Our online consultation process connects you directly with UK-registered pharmacists who can assess your symptoms and prescribe appropriate antiviral medications. Simply complete our medical questionnaire, providing details about your cold sore symptoms, frequency of outbreaks, and medical history. This information helps our pharmacists determine the most suitable treatment for your needs.
Available Cold Sore Treatments
EverydayMeds offers several effective cold sore treatments through our online service. Aciclovir 400mg tablets are our most commonly prescribed option, particularly effective when taken at the first sign of symptoms. We also stock Aciclovir 5% cream for topical application, plus alternative antivirals like Valaciclovir 500mg tablets and branded Valtrex tablets. Our pharmacists will recommend the most appropriate treatment based on your consultation responses and outbreak pattern.
Understanding Cold Sore Symptoms
Cold sores typically begin with a tingling, burning, or itching sensation around the lips or mouth area. Within 24-48 hours, small fluid-filled blisters develop, which eventually burst and form crusts. The entire cycle usually lasts 7-10 days. Treatment is most effective when started during the initial tingling stage, before blisters appear. If you experience frequent outbreaks, our pharmacists may recommend suppressive therapy to reduce recurrence.
When to Seek Treatment
Consider ordering cold sore treatment if you experience recurrent outbreaks, particularly severe symptoms, or if cold sores significantly impact your daily life. Antiviral treatments like Aciclovir can help reduce outbreak duration from 7-10 days to approximately 4-6 days when started early. People with compromised immune systems or those who develop cold sores in unusual locations should particularly benefit from prescription treatment.

Once approved by our pharmacists, your cold sore treatment is dispatched from our UK pharmacy with discreet packaging.
