Got Cold Sore On Lips. No Relief From Mucosal Pain Releiving Gel And Zytec. What To Do?
Hello and welcome to XXXXXXX
Thank you for writing to us.
Cold sore are caused by HSV). There are two types, HSV-1 and HSV-2, although HSV-1 is seen more often than the other variant.
Treatment for herpes involves the use of anti-viral medication (eg. acyclovir, valaciclovir, famcyclovir, pencyclovir, etc.). You can also add pain management or locally numbing medication. Although I would advise you to please consult a doctor and get treated for this accordingly instead of self-medicating. If herpes is inadequately treated, it can lead to many more serious complications in the future. Thus, early and appropriate treatment is the best option.
I hope you found my response helpful and informative. Do write back to me for any further clarifications and I would be glad to help.
Best wishes.
