Home Remedies<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Cold sores, which are also known as fever blisters, are common viral infections that are usually caused by the Herpes simplex virus (HSV). Sadly, there\u2019s no cure for these fluid-filled blisters either. They can be tiny in size or bigger in nature, depending on the intensity of the infection. They normally form wet blisters that eventually turn into a crusty scabs after a few days, which can last for weeks before they heal. They tend to affect the lips, tongue, throat and walls inside the mouth. Despite the pain and irritation that comes with them, thankfully there are ways to help them heal faster.<\/p>\n

Here are 29 home remedies to help get rid of cold sores.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Ice Pack<\/h2>\n

Ice is probably the easiest and quickest way to help treat cold cores, as well as lessen the pain that comes with them. Simply take a few ice cubes and wrap them in a thin towel or wash cloth, or place them directly on the cold sores if you can handle the cold. Aside from the ice lessening any swelling and pain associated with the sores, the cold also helps diminish the chances of the bacteria spreading to other areas. This can be done in 10 minute intervals, between three to five times a day. It can even be done once you feel a cold sore coming on but has yet to appear.<\/p>\n

\"\"
New Health Advisor<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While rubbing alcohol may seem incredibly harsh as a natural remedy for cold sores, it is still quite effective.

You can use either a Q-tip or a cotton ball and place the alcohol on either one and rub the alcohol over the sores and affected areas. Stinging is normal, but it\u2019s best to put moisturizer on it afterwards to prevent too much dryness or cracking, which can actually make the cold sore more painful.<\/p>\n

18. Sea Salt<\/h2>\n
\"\"

Unlike regular table salt, sea salt is minimally processed, which means it still contains some minerals like iron, potassium and calcium rather than it getting stripped away.

\"\"

Cornstarch is one of the easiest, not to mention cheapest, treatments that can be used for cold sores.

Placing a cornstarch paste on the sores, which is basically made from cornstarch mixed with water, will soothe any inflammation and lessen the pain that comes from cold sores. Put it on the sores around three times a day to help lessen the common symptoms that come with them.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

23. Try A Teabag Poultice<\/h2>\n
\"\"

Another home remedy is using a teabag poultice, which is basically steeping a tea bag in hot water and allowing it cool completely. Then place the teabag on the affected area, either where a cold sore already is located or where you think one might occur. Leave the teabag on the area for at least ten minutes at a time, and do this between three to four times throughout the day, depending on the severity of the case. Most mention using Earl Grey as the best kind for cold sore treatments, and you can even cool the bag inside the ref before using it too.<\/p>\n

24. Calendula<\/h2>\n
\"\"
Lovely Greens<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Calendula is a plant whose flower is used to make medicine. It\u2019s one of the more popular herbal remedies used for rashes, wounds, infections, inflammation and tons of other medical conditions. Due to its antiviral properties, calendula tea can help make cold sore outbreaks milder, which means that they won\u2019t last as long as well. Steep a bag and drink a cup of the tea up to three times a day. And just like the teabag poultice, you can also cool the bag and press it directly against the cold sore for pain relief and lowered inflammation.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

25. Vitamin E<\/h2>\n
\"\"
Beauty Glimpse<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Another vitamin that helps with cold sores is E. Better known for how it works on the skin and wrinkles, it also helps cognitive function and boosts the immune system. When it comes to cold sores, topically applying vitamin E to the sores can help the severity of the breakout. Aside from helping with inflammation, it can even aid in healing scars that have formed due to the sores. But it\u2019s important to discuss the use of vitamin E with a doctor before applying it to the fever blisters.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

26. Neosporin<\/h2>\n
\"\"
Penn Care<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Although Neosporin is not an herbal remedy, it is still usually one type of topical medication that most people have in their medicine cabinets. Since it works to promote healing and lessen inflammation, Neosporin ointment can also be used on the cold sore areas where pain or tingling is felt, as well as on the open cold sores to promote healing. Be sure to apply some alcohol on the fever blisters first, then put the Neosporin afterwards to get the best effect from the ointment.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

27. Make Use of Red Wine<\/h2>\n
\"\"
Once Upon a Maritime<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Another helpful tip to treat cold sores is to use red wine. This is due to the antioxidants that red wine contains called resveratrol, which works to lessen inflammation and pain. To use, take some red wine and pour a little on a saucer, leaving it to evaporate and eventually dry up on the plate. Take the solidified wine and slather it on the cold sores to allow the antioxidants to work. Not only will it help shorten the healing period of these sores, it gives you a reason to have a glass or two of wine!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

28. Apply Sunscreen<\/h2>\n
\"\"
Allure<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A number of people that have recurring fever blisters often find that exposure to sunlight is a strong trigger for them to appear. This is mostly due to the ultraviolet rays from the sun that directly hit the sensitive skin and cause an outbreak to happen. It\u2019s important for those that are prone to getting cold sores to use sunscreen around the face, as well as on the lips via lip balms that contain at least SPF 15. Be sure to reapply this all throughout the day, especially if you know you\u2019re going to be under the sun for lengthened periods of time.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

29. Increase Your Vitamin B12 Intake<\/h2>\n
\"\"
CBS<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Studies have shown that a number of people that suffer from frequent fever blister outbreaks tend to have B12 deficiencies. In order to lessen the chances of having constant cold sores appear, taking a B12 supplement can help make these outbreaks lessen in number. Aside from a supplement, you can also eat more Vitamin B12 foods like eggs, shellfish, beef and other dairy products. Just make sure to discuss this with your doctor to make sure that you are taking the right amount for your specific needs.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

30. Change Your Toothbrush Regularly<\/h2>\n
\"\"
Doc V. Lee<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of the main reasons that cold sores occur and spread is due to the fact that they are easily spread. One particular tool that is a bacteria keeper is none other than your trusty toothbrush, especially when it comes to the herpes simplex virus since it normally affects the mouth, throat and lips. For people that suffer from frequent sores, they need to change their toothbrushes on a regular basis, as well as throw out other items often used directly on the lips like lip balms and lipsticks. Moreover, speak to a medical professional to make sure that you are doing the right treatment in your personal case to best help deal with these painful and bothersome sores.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
