Quick Cold Sore Treatment

Anyone who has suffered from an unsightly cold sore knows just how truly upsetting they can be. Worse, because they often reoccur, many patients are left just waiting for their next outbreak. You can get a prescription online to quicky and effectively treat some of the worst cases of cold sores. By working with an online physician and pharmacy, patients have access to healing medication fast, meaning less time trying to cover up or simply live with the horrible sore.

Even for something as simple as a cold sore, it is important to seek medical treatment. Because most cold sores are caused by the herpes virus, the only way to really treat them is with prescription medication, such as the commonly used Abreva. Learning the signs and symptoms of cold sores will allow anyone to work with an online doctor and pharmacies to get the prescription medication they need quickly and inexpensively right online with an online doctor.

Cold sore typically start out with a tingling or burning sensation. This sensation is almost always localized to the lips and the area immediately around them although some patients expereince the sensation in the interior of the mouth. Two to three days after the onset of the tingling sensation the pateint will begin to experience blistering. Swelling and blistering skin will appear on the mouth and the surrounding skin. The blisters will continue to swell until they start to leak fluid or 'weep'. The ulcerated or open blister will have a painful red center. This stage is both the most infectious and the most painful. Once the cold sore has completed 'weeping' it will begin to crust over. After 9-11 days the body will begin to acclimate to the cold sore and it will begin to decrease in size.

The sooner medical treatment is begun the quicker the lesion will heal. For this reason, it is important to work with a doctor as soon as symptoms appear-preferably during the first 'tingle' stage. Online doctors can easily diagnose cold sores, especially if the patient has a history of them. They can quickly write an online prescription that will speed up the healing process. Today, the most popular medication prescribed for those suffering from cold sores is Abreva.

Immediate treatment is important for another reason. Cold sores are highly contagious during the weeping phase of the sore. Skin to skin contact is the easiest way to transmit them, but sharing cups or other utensils can also play a role in spreading these sores. By treating the cold sore immediately, it is often possible to decrease the amount of time that the sore weeps, thus making the contagion period shorter.

Some people rely on over the counter medications to treat cold sores. The time and money needed to see a physician for a cold sore often seems silly, especially when there are many OTC products available. Always remember that these products are not as potent as an online prescription like Abreva. In most cases they do not work as well. The best way to treat a cold sore or a reoccurring sore is with a prescription from a trained doctor.
