Cold Sores - Cold Sore Remedies

Need cold sore remedies? If so, you have definitely come to the right place.

You can call them "cold sores" or "fever blisters" but they are both the same thing and both can be a real pain... no pun intended.

So before we explain about cold sore or fever blister remedies, let’s talk some more about general cold sore information.

It is estimated that 50 to 80% of people in the world have the virus "herpes", which causes cold sores. So if you have cold sores, you are not alone.

What are cold sores?

Cold sores usually occur on the lips, however, they can sometimes occur on the chin, nostrils or fingers, too.

Typically, the cold sores start out with pain or tingling… a hard spot will occur soonafter … and then about 2 or 3 days later, the blisters occur.

The blisters form… they will break and ooze … leave a yellow crust… and then leave pink-like skin underneath the crust. The fever blister outbreaks usually last about 7 to 10 days.

Now let’s look at the causes of Cold Sores or fever blisters.

What can cause cold sores? Typically anything that would lower your immune system… such as getting sick… a fever… sunburn… hormonal changes… stress. Those types of things. Even citrus fruits can trigger cold sores.

So what are the options for Cold Sore Remedies?

There are many different cold sore remedies available, however, be careful about the ones you choose as some can be dangerous.

Drugs are sometimes prescribed for fever blisters … some which can cause dangerous side effects such as vascular disorders, hypotension, hypertension, gastrointestinal disorders, nausea, vomiting, nervous system disorders, parethesia, dizziness and bradycardia. And in rare occasions (about 1 in every 1,000), cardiac arrest can occur as well as eye disorders.

Also, many cold sore treatments contain alcohol… which can sting and infect the outbreak more.

Please note: Experts advise NOT to use any kind of topical cortisone-type cream on cold sores as this may make the outbreak much worse.

The best cold sore remedies are all natural ones.

There is an all natural oil that is made of pure plant extracts that works really well to heal cold sores and fever blisters. There are absolutely no drugs contained in these oils. These oils have the ability to penetrate into the cell membranes very quickly. When this cold sore treatment is applied, it will go directly into the bloodstream… therefore bypassing digestion… and working more quickly.

This is much better than typical creams and ointments since the creams and ointments do not go directly into the bloodstream … and they also can prolong the healing of the outbreaks.
