Oral Herpes Home Remedy
It never fails. Every time you have a big meeting coming up or an important presentation to give, you develop an unsightly cold sore on your lip. You wake up with a small cluster of tiny, harmless-looking, white blisters, which quickly explode into a painful sore the size of Rhode Island. (OK, so maybe it just looks that big to you.)
Stop the cold sore in its tracks. It is in its prodromal stage for 6 to 48 hours before it becomes visible.During this time, you may use the following methods to prevent the sore from surfacing. This is the best time to stop it, rather than having to wait once it gets big and nasty! Try any of these three remedies below:
Ice it or apply a cold compress.Do this hourly, or as frequently as possible.
This remedy doesn’t involve drinking. Soak a cotton ball in milk and apply it to the sore to relieve pain. Better yet, if you feel the tell-tale tingling before the cold sore surfaces, go straight to the cold milk. It can help speed the healing right from the beginning.
Steep a teabag in hot water, let it cool and then hold it against the afflicted area.Cold sores thrive in heat, so be sure to let the tea bag cool beforehand.
