Customer Review: Best Over-The-Counter Product for Cold Sores
Summary: 4 Stars
I am a dentist who sees a lot of people with cold sores, which is a reactivation of the Herpes I virus. The cold sore is the virus replicating as a result of some sort of stress that decreases one's immune system (sunlight, illness, too much exercise, etc).
Abbreva has been shown in clinical studies to be somewhat effective, but the key with this treatment or any other for that matter is to start when you first feel the tingling, itchy, burning sensation of another cold sore coming on. If you wait for the cold sore to erupt, virtually nothing will relieve it except time and your own immune response. So start applying Abbreva immediately for the best chance to limit the development of the cold sore, and to aid in faster healing time.
Your dentist or doctor can prescribe anti-virals in either a topical form or a tablet form for severe cold sore cases, but once again, if it is not started immediately, the cold sore will develop and stay with you for 10 days or so. Ask for Zovirax (Acyclovir) or Denavir.
Always use a lip balm with sunscreen as too much sunlight can trigger a new eruption of a cold sore. And don't kiss when you have cold sores, for the virus can spread.
Abbreva is a good product. As with any product, it will not work for everyone - but it is certainly worth a try.
