How Antiviral Treatments Can Help Soothe Cold Sores
Cold sores, caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV-1), affect up to 70% of the UK population. When you feel that familiar tingling sensation, acting quickly with antiviral treatment may help reduce the severity and duration of your outbreak. Aciclovir tablets work by preventing the virus from reproducing, potentially shortening healing time when taken within the first 24-48 hours of symptoms appearing.
Available Cold Sore Treatments at EverydayMeds
EverydayMeds offers several effective treatment options through our online consultation service. Aciclovir 400mg tablets are our most commonly prescribed treatment, typically taken five times daily for five days. For those seeking alternatives, Valaciclovir 500mg tablets may be more convenient with less frequent dosing. We also stock Aciclovir 5% cream for topical application and branded options like Valtrex tablets.
Our Simple Online Consultation Process
Getting cold sore treatment through EverydayMeds is straightforward and discreet. Start by completing our online health questionnaire, providing details about your symptoms and medical history. One of our qualified pharmacists will review your consultation, ensuring the treatment is suitable for you. Once approved, your medication is dispatched from our UK pharmacy with next-day delivery options available.
When to Seek Treatment for Cold Sores
Treatment is most effective when started early, ideally at the first sign of tingling or discomfort. While cold sores typically heal within 7-10 days without treatment, antiviral medications may help reduce this time and ease discomfort. Those who experience frequent outbreaks (more than six per year) might benefit from suppressive therapy, which our pharmacists can discuss during consultation.
Managing Cold Sore Symptoms
Alongside antiviral treatment, several measures may help soothe cold sore discomfort. Avoid touching or picking at blisters to prevent secondary infection and spread. Use separate towels and avoid sharing utensils whilst symptomatic. Pain relief medications like paracetamol or ibuprofen may help with discomfort, whilst avoiding known triggers like stress or sun exposure might reduce future outbreaks.
