Are Over the Counter Cold Sore Remedies Effective?

May 10th, 2009

Most over the counter cold sore remedies which you can buy are intended to reduce the pain associated with cold sores. Some of them are intended instead to reduce a cold sore’s duration. Several ingredients are combined in these medications, each of which have been shown to reduce the burning pain which cold sores cause. The first sign of a developing cold sore is a tingling feeling, which comes before the appearance of the blister. This is when you should start treatment, if you are going to reduce the sore’s duration. You cannot cure cold sores, but you can make them easier to bear.
