How To Get Rid of a Cold Sore | Abreva®

Описание: How to get rid of a Cold Sore Video Steps

Here are 5 ways to help you cope with a cold sore and make it disappear quicker:

Step one- hands off!

It might sound obvious and seem hard to do, but DO NOT pick at a cold sore. If you don’t leave it alone, you may prolong the healing process. And if you accidentally do touch it, don’t touch other body parts, especially your eyes. You could spread it to another area or to somebody else. So be sure to wash your hands as soon as possible.

Two- Cool that cold sore down with a compress

Placing a cool, wet towel on the cold sore 3 times a day for 10 minutes at a time can help reduce pain, redness, and swelling. It’ll also help remove crusting and promote healing.

Three- Avoid Acidic foods and opt for vitamin C tablets instead
Tomatoes and citrus fruits like oranges contain acid, that can irritate the skin and make your pain much worse. But many of these acidic fruits also contain Vitamin C, that can boost your white blood cell count to fight off the infection. Instead, take a tablet containing Vitamin C to get your body’s defenders fighting the battle for you.

Four- Take the pain away

You have enough to deal with. Taking ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help reduce the pain and swelling caused by a cold sore.

Five- Act early and apply Abreva often
At the first sign of cold sore when you feel the tingle, apply nonprescription Abreva Cream. When done so, it is clinically proven to heal a cold sore in 2½ days.
