Cold Sore Solutions

Cold sores are a common virus that can appear after sun exposure, because of physical or mental stress, or for no apparant reason. They reoccur at the same place and are contagious. Wear sun protection on your lips, especially when skiing or at the beach, and avoid toothpastes with mint or cinnamon flavorings. Start a prescription antiviral treatment as soon as the tingling sensation begins. We have also found that 200/mg per day of aspirin help decrease the outbreaks of cold sores.
