Common conclusions

You should start using it. Honey has a reputation for assisting in the healing of wounds and skin injuries. Cold sores can benefit from kanuka honey, which comes from the manuka tree in New Zealand.

Placing a soft, wet towel on a cold sore can help alleviate discomfort, redness, and swelling, equivalent to using ice to alleviate a painful sprain or injury. To make it feel better, you should apply a cold compress three times a day for ten minutes each time.

Great! Lidocaine and benzocaine are two over-the-counter anesthetic ointments and creams that can help regulate pain. When used early and in large quantities, certain products, such as those including docosanol or benzyl alcohol, can also facilitate faster healing. You should try out the Abreva Cold Sore Cream, Zilactin Cold Sore Gel, etc.

Great! You should stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids.

Great! Petroleum Jelly can soothe the irritation and discomfort.
