Tips On Cold Sore Remedies

It first started as a tingling sensation. You also felt some burning and itching. Soon tiny blisters start to form. They keep getting larger and soon you have one ugly and painful cold sore. The only thing on your mind is “how do I get rid of this quickly?” Here are some cold sore remedies that can help:

1. If your cold sore is in the early stages, topical cream Abreva can speed up your healing. Your cold sore won’t last as long and won’t be as bad. It’s an OTC medication and can be bought at the store. Many users swear by it’s effectiveness. Unfortunately it is a little pricey.

2. Increase your Lysine intake and reduce Arginine. Lysine is an amino acid that restricts the growth of the herpes virus. Arginine, on the other hand, is used by the virus to grow. So, eat lysine rich foods such as legumes, meat, vegetables, eggs and dairy products. Stay away from nuts, chocolate and caffeine. Another way of increasing your Lysine level is by taking supplements. Lysine cream and lip balm can help reduce the discomforts of cold sores.

3. Use lemon balm. Lemon Balm, also commonly known as Melissa, is a herb with a lemony scent that looks a lot like mint. This herb has antiviral properties. Studies suggest that it can help sooth the itching, tingling and burning sensations of cold sores.

There are several ways to use lemon balm as a remedy. You could get lemon balm tea bags, brew it as a tea, then apply the liquid on the sore using a cotton ball. Don’t throw away the tea bags. Freeze it and later apply it on the sore. The icy coldness relieves your pain and the antiviral properties helps to cure the sore.
