Suggest Treatment For Recurring Cold Sores Caused Due To Weather Change
Question: is there anything i can do to im prove the look and help get rid of cold sores i get them everytime the weather changes
Brief Answer:
Are you referring to herpes as cold sores?
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about these cold sores that you have reported. This might be herpes. Herpes infections need to be treated if they get to occur several times in a year. The drug of choice here is acyclovir. However, I will like that you get tested for herpes to confirm this suspicion. If it turns out to be positive, then going on this drug especially in the months leading to the cold season would prevent outbreaks.
I hope this addresses your query fully. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
